Team USA racked up another two medals in the women’s event on the final day of competition at the ISU Four Continents Figure Skating Championships in Seoul, South Korea.
Bradie Tennell took home the silver, her second Four Continents medal after she won bronze at the event in 2020 and the best result for Team USA since Mirai Nagasu in 2016. To round out the podium, Sarah Everhardt earned the bronze in her debut at the event.
This marks the first time two U.S. women have stood on the podium at Four Continents since 2012.
In fifth place after the short program, Tennell jumped up to silver thanks to a second-place finish in the free skate.
Skating to "Nessun Dorma" performed by Pavarotti and Sarah Brightman, Tennell earned 137.80 points in the free skate, which contributed to her total score of 204.38 points.
Although her first jump combination – a triple Lutz-triple toe loop combination – earned a negative grade of execution, it nevertheless earned 9.85 points, giving the 2018 Olympic team event bronze medalist a strong start. She followed it up with a strong triple loop-double Axel sequence and was clean the rest of the way. The biggest highlight was her triple Lutz-double toe loop-double loop in the second half of her program worth 10.30 points, her highest-scoring element.
Sarah Everhardt, making her Four Continents debut, earned 132.67 for her free skate set to Igor Stravinksy’s “The Firebird” and claimed the bronze with a total score of 200.03.
Like Tennell, Everhardt featured a strong jump combination in the second half of her routine. Her triple Lutz-double toe loop-double loop combinationwas awarded 10.30 points by the judges.
Finishing just off the podium in fourth place, Alysa Liu’s free skate to Donna Summer’s “MacArthur Park” scored 131.46 for the segment and 198.55 overall.
