She had to wait three years for it, but Bradie Tennell earned her second national title Friday night at the 2021 U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Las Vegas. Tennell scored 153.21 points in the free skate and a 232.61 total.
After winning her first in 2018, when she made the Olympic team, Tennell had continued to finish first in the short program every year that followed, but ended up earning silver in 2019 and bronze in 2020.
She looked relieved and elated as she finished her solid free skate, landing all seven triple jumps and knowing she had done what she set out to do.
