Bradie TENNELL (USA) | NHK Trophy 2024 | #GPFigure
Well it's fabulous to see her back and would you believe it today is in fact the one-year
anniversary of the first surgery on her ankle after she broke it last October.
Might get enough elevation on that triple toe I don't think.
That's better. Beautiful double axel. That looked clean that was the triple loop.
Oh well done Brady. Well by her own admission it's been tough to get back to this sort of form.
Can you imagine I mean if any of you have ever broken a bone in your body you know how difficult
it is to to get yourself back to a normal situation just to do everyday things but to
to break your ankle have surgery and then get yourself back to this sort of form
within 12 months is phenomenal and well done to the team around at Benoit Richaud
greeting her at the door he coaches her along with Jeremy Allen.
Benoit of course responsible for the choreography. Does she make the toe? No that's short. That is
gonna be well it's gonna be at least an under rotation could even be a downgrade.
Remember if you're more than half rotation short you get a downgrade and then the base value of
that element is the lesser value so it would be instead of the base value of a triple toe it'd be
the base value of a double toe and negative grade of execution on top of that so it really does hurt.
Yeah it is I can tell you looking down they're giving her a cue on the lutz and a downgrade
on the toe so that's gonna be tough but it is a work in progress it's an achievement I can tell
you for her to be out here in Japan at the NHK trophy brilliant stuff I can tell you there's
nobody who works harder than her always remember Benoit telling me that when they were working on a
free program a couple of years ago she worked for hours on the choreography and then at the
end of the day she'd be doing run throughs an amazing work ethic that's for sure so 62.05
third place
