Ryan Scott Bradley (born November 17, 1983) is an American former competitive figure skater.

[1] His sister, Becky, is a skating coach and former competitive skater, and his mother is a USFSA judge.

[1] Bradley decided not to continue with pairs, preferring to focus on his singles career and not having enough time to train in both.

[1] As a single skater, he won the silver medal at the Intermediate level at the Junior Olympics in the 1994-1995 season.

He was originally placed on the team for the 2001 World Junior Championships; however, he was forced to withdraw prior to the event with injury.

Figure Skating did not allow American skaters to compete on the Junior Grand Prix because of security concerns following the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Bradley missed most of the 2004-2005 season after breaking his arm while playing dodgeball; he had a spiral fracture in his right humerus and was off the ice for six months.

In the 2006-2007 season, Bradley was given a host invitation to the 2006 Skate America due to the retirement of skaters who had placed ahead of him.

Upon learning that he had won the silver, Bradley skated back onto the ice and performed a back-flip for the crowd.

[5] In the 2007-2008 season, Bradley competed on the Grand Prix circuit with a 6th place finish at the 2007 Skate America and 5th at the 2007 Trophée Éric Bompard.

Bradley began the 2008-2009 season at the 2008 Skate Canada International, where he won the silver medal.

Bradley had initially planned to retire from competitive skating, but decided to resume training in mid-October.

Bradley won the short program and placed fourth in the free skate to win the overall competition and become the U.S. National Champion for the first time in his career.
