The seventh American man to win the men's individual competition at the Games.


Almost four years to the day after a disastrous performance in Pyeongchang, Chen aced his final appearance at the 2022 Winter Olympics and coasted to gold, becoming just the seventh American man to win the men's individual competition at the Games.


Nathan landed all five of the quad jumps


Skating to a compilation of music from the 2019 film "Rocketman," the 22-year-old was equal parts graceful, technical, and fun in his four-minute performance at Capital Indoor Stadium in Beijing. He landed all five of the quad jumps in his long program for a score of 218.63, pushing his total for the competition to 332.60.
