Gracie Gold, Two-time U.S. National Champion & Olympic Figure Skater

Gracie Gold (@GracieGold95 on IG), Two-time U.S. National Champion and Olympic Figure Skater joins us in advance of her appearance in the upcoming HBO Documentary THE WEIGHT OF GOLD. Gold discusses the mental and emotional toll the pressure that being an elite athlete has had on her, spending her entire life focused on a 4-minute performance on the ice at the Olympics and at the U.S. Figure Skating National championships and the lack of mental health and post Olympic career resources that are available to Olympic athletes. Driven by passion, but broken by pursuit, Gold has battled depression and she opens up about her struggles during this candid interview. Gold also offers solutions for how mental health issues for athletes can be treated in the future. THE WEIGHT OF GOLD documentary debuts on HBO on July 29.
