The Olympic Men Figure Skating Results Are In
All eyes were on USA's Nathan Chen last night during the Olympic men's free skate competition in Pyeongchang, and boy, he did not disappoint.
After a "disaster" short program, the 18-year-old prodigy landed an unparalleled six quadruple jumps in a historic performance. His personal-best score of 215.08 points Saturday was more than enough to win the free skate, but unfortunately, it wasn't enough to bring him gold.
Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu, who won gold during the Sochi Olympics, did it again with a score of 317.85, making him the first male figure skater to win back-to-back gold medals in 66 years.
Shoma Uno of Japan landed silver with a score of 306.90, while Spain's Javier Fernandez won bronze with a score of 305.24, respectively.
China's Jin Boyang came in fourth with a score of 297.77, followed by Chen, who had a total score of 297.35. And while he didn't deliver a medal for USA, Chen's performance last night was one for the books, making him still one to watch in the coming years.
Congrats all around!
