Things were shaken like a mad martini with a series of ups and downs, spins and salchows, loops and lutzes. Bradie Tennell has played lady-in-waiting since she won the gold in 2018, but again (deservedly) ascended to the throne by winning the title.
Karen Chen (2017 U.S. champion) made an exquisite journey back to the podium to nab the bronze, and two-time — and reigning — gold medalist Alysa Liu,15, battled puberty and a 3-inch growth spurt to earn a very respectable pewter medal (4th place).
