The future still remains extremely bright for figure skater, Gracie Gold. She skated in the womens free program and came in second out of five skaters. Now that she already has one medal, it "makes her hungry for another one." She won silver in the 2012 World Junior Championships which was followed by a silver in last years US championships. There is a lot of concern surrounding the olympic athletes and how they will cope with all the pressure in the upcoming events. It is a lot to put on one athlete just the training aspect but the pressure aspect is a whole different thing and a whole different level.
Learning to deal with all that pressure is something that Olympic athletes have to learn to deal with as they venture down that path, considering it will be coming up a lot. Gracie will learn to deal with all the extras that come with being an olympic athlete, but for now her main priority is bringing home the gold for the 2018 winter olympics for the USA.
