A biography for Gracie Goldhasn’t been written yet.
“I pretty much knew that I was going to come in fourth, but then I said, 'I'm fourth at the Olympic Games. What are you talking about? Why is that disappointing?'”
“If I were packing for a deserted island, I would bring sunscreen, a water purifier, something to start a fire with, my sister, and something for protection.”
“Someone named Gold has never won gold, I'm told.”
“It's just skating, and you're going to have a couple of mistakes. Even in practice, you're not hitting 100%.”
“I think if I just do what I do every day, on the extraordinary Olympic stage, I could be a podium contender.”
“I always wear my evil eye necklace to ward off bad karma. I always wear one to protect me.”
“It's kind of low brow, but the show 'Bob's Burgers' is hilarious, and being from the Midwest, I can kind of relate to a lot of the jokes. 'Orange is The New Black' is a Netflix Exclusive, I think - that's really funny.”
“There are tons of great names who have gotten fourth at their first Olympics, and they just kept with it for the next quad. I'm among good company.”
“I've been competitive since day one. Even in little things as a child, like having a twin and a direct competitor for who makes better cookies.”
“While I circled around and around in my brown rental skates, I studied a group of skaters spinning in the center. I was fascinated! When my mom picked me up, I began a campaign for skating lessons.”
“The first thing I do when I get up in the morning is wash my face with Olay Regenerist Thermal Mini-Peel Face Wash. My skin is super-dry, and this one is great for basically any skin type. As you cleanse your face, the face wash gets warmer, so it's soothing and also has some exfoliation to it.”
“Red certainly is the family color. From my mother and my grandmother, I've learned a lot of little tricks - the significance of color and lipstick being one of them. I started skating when I was eight years old, and my mom did my makeup for me back then.”
“I always start my breakfast out with oatmeal, because it's full of vitamin D, it's a great carb, and you can get, like, some fun flavors in there.”
“Everyone has their dreams. I don't write my dreams down; they just live inside of me.”
“My favorite shampoos and conditioners are from Pantene's Damage Repair line, but I also love the Color Preserve Shine collection. I get highlights here and there to brighten my look, so the Color Preserve shampoo and conditioner is great for protection.”
“I'm really all about clean eating, lots of fruits and vegetables. It's great, because in California, there are so many farmers' markets, so I always have plenty of fresh produce.”
“There is always the next big thing, the next big skater.”
“My go-to is a red lip. It's a timeless fashion statement, and I've loved doing it ever since I was little. My favorite classic red is CoverGirl Lip Perfection in #305 Hot.”
