Jason Brown is winner at the 2020 Peggy Fleming Trophy, the debut of the World's first virtual competition

Due to the cancellation of the Broadmoor Open, the Broadmoor Skating Club changed direction so that the third annual Peggy Fleming Trophy competition became a historic, first of its kind, virtual streamed event in which 18 U.S. Senior Level nationally and internationally ranked Men and Ladies figure skaters competed with and against each other for the trophy. Entrants videotaped their competition programs at their home training sites and submitted their 3:30 minute programs via video link to U. S. Figure Skating, the sport's national governing body. Their programs were evaluated by a world-class group of judges and officials. The event is available for viewing indefinitely at US Figure Skating Fan Zone.

She scored 139.98 points on Saturday to total 212.18 points for the competition. Tennell was the first American lady to appear in the event since 2015. "It really feels good," Tennell said. "I felt like I went out there and put everything I had on the line and I'm really proud of that skate. There was some great energy in the arena. It's really great when the crowd is into it because then you can feed off that energy and put it into the performance. For my first Grand Prix Final, I think it was very good."
