Gracie Gold Will Not Compete in the Olympics
U.S. figure skating champion and Olympic medalist Gracie Gold will not be competing in next year's Winter Olympics, People magazine reports.
"It breaks my heart to withdraw from the 2018 U.S. Championships," she said. "I am still undergoing treatment for depression, anxiety and an eating disorder."
"I have not had adequate training time in order to perform at the level at which I want to," the statement continued. "It pains me not to compete in this Olympic season, but I know it’s for the best. I wish everyone the best of luck and will be cheering you all on. I want to thank everyone for the ongoing love and support. It means the world to me."
It was announced in October that Gold was taking a break from competing to undergo treatment.
