Bradie Tennell (born January 31, 1998) is an American competitive figure skater. She is the 2017 Skate America bronze medalist, 2016 CS Tallinn Trophy bronze medalist, and 2018 U.S national champion. She has been named to the U.S. Olympic team for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

Personal life

Tennell was born on January 31, 1998 in Winfield, Illinois.[1] Her mother, Jean, is a registered nurse and a single mother.[2][3] She has two younger brothers, Austin and Shane, both of whom are ice hockey players.[2] Tennell takes classes at a local community college.[4]

Career

Early career

Tennell began learning to skate as a two-year-old after begging her mother to let her try the sport.[5] Denise Myers became her coach around 2007.[6]

Tennell won the novice bronze medal at the 2013 U.S Championships. The next year, she moved up to the junior ranks and placed fourth on that level at the 2014 U.S Championships.

2014–2015 season

In September 2014, Tennell debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series, placing 8th in Nagoya, Japan. At the 2015 U.S Championships, she won the junior gold medal by over 16 points. In May 2015, she was diagnosed with a stress fracture in both wings of a lumbar vertebra.[7][6] She wore a back brace the entire summer.[6]

2015–2016 season

Tennell began her season by placing 11th at her JGP event in Linz, Austria. She finished 6th on the senior level at the 2016 U.S. Championships in St. Paul, Minnesota on January 23, 2016 and was assigned to the 2016 World Junior Championships in Debrecen. Ranked 4th in the short program and 14th in the free skate, she finished 11th overall in Hungary. In June 2016, a stress fracture was found in a different lumbar vertebra.[6] She underwent intense physical therapy and started pilates before returning to the ice in early September 2016.[6]

2016–2017 season

Making her senior international debut, Tennell won the bronze medal at the 2016 CS Tallinn Trophy in late November. In January, she finished 9th on the senior level at the 2017 U.S. Championships. In March, she placed 7th at the 2017 World Junior Championships in Taipei, Taiwan.[8]

2017–2018 season

In November 2017, Tennell won the bronze medal at her sole Grand Prix assignment, Skate America, after placing fourth in the short program (higher than both Ashley Wagner and Karen Chen)[9] and third in the free skate.[10] Tennell finished the competition with a score of  204.10, the highest score a United States ladies figure skater earned during the Grand Prix season.[10] At the 2018 U.S. Figure Skating Championship, Tennell placed first in the short program.[11] Tennell won the competition with a combined score of 219.51.[12] She was then one of three named to the U.S. women’s Olympic figure skating team to represent the United States in Pyeongchang.[13]
