Figure Skating Wunderkind Nathan Chen on Going for Olympic Gold: ‘I’ve Worked My Entire Life for This Moment’
Since the moment American figure skating champion Nathan Chen first stepped on the ice as a toddler less than two decades ago, he has mastered the ice at a record-setting pace.“Basically, I’ve skated every single day since to where I am now,” Chen tells People.
“I’m currently 18 so that’s quite a few days on the ice.”At such a young age, Chen has already left his mark on figure skating by becoming the first man to land five quadruple jumps in one program, and winning the 2017 U.S.
championship, Four Continents Championship and Grand Prix Final championship.
