Welcome your new favorite Olympian to the SPN fam.

If you haven’t heard Bradie Tennell’s name yet — and you pay even the slightest attention to the Winter Olympics — get ready to hear it all the time. The 19-year-old was recently named the U.S. women’s figure skating champion after an essentially flawless short program and free skate at nationals in January. With her victory, as well as a dominating year of competition, Bradie is headed to the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, representing Team USA and also, crucially, Team SPN FAMILY.

As Twitter user @ExorcisingEmily pointed out, Bradie is a well-documented member of the SPN fam, posting frequently about it on her Instagram story.

As @ExorcisingEmily points out in her thread, Bradie doesn’t tweet much but her likes reflect her love of all things Supernatural. In fact, with a few figure skating exceptions (makes sense), most of her 41 likes are Supernatural-related.

Her Instagram is similarly sparse, but apparently, the Instagram story is where her fandom really shines, so if Instagram is one of your social media platforms of choice, perhaps give her a follow.

Tennell won a spot on Team USA with a program set to music from a Korean film by a Korean composer (from Taegukgi, by Lee Dong-jun), leading commentators Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir to speculate she already had her sights on performing the routine in front of the Olympic judges in Pyeongchang, South Korea. (Her free skate, on the other hand, is set to Cinderella. One has to wonder if she ever skates to any of the themes from Supernatural.) As a skater, she’s noted as one of the most consistent in skating, landing all her jumps during the four days of practice and competition at nationals.

See her gold-medal-cinching free skate below.

Bradie is a Chicago-area native — she calls Skokie home — so one has to wonder if she’ll make an appearance at the Chicago Supernatural Convention in July. Maybe even as an Olympic medalist??
