Gracie Gold's story is one of the most powerful stories in figure
skating. After winning the bronze medal at the 2014 Sochi Olympic
games and being regarded as America’s golden girl, Gracie hit rock
bottom spiraling into a painful battle with an eating disorder, and
depression. At this point in her life, Gracie did not think she
would ever return to skating. Gracie takes us through her journey
with mental health and how she ultimately recovered, which led her
to speak out about her struggles and find her way back on the ice
and hopefully to the next Olympic games. Gracie was most recently
featured in Michael Phelps’ powerful documentary, “The Weight of
Gold,” which features a variety of olympians who have struggled
with mental health. Gracie most famously said, "America loves three
stories: America loves a comeback story, America loves an underdog
story, and America loves the fall of a hero. I am all three.”
