Nathan Chen is an American figure skater who made his senior debut in international competition in 2016.[1] Chen, the reigning Olympic champion (2022) and a three-time world champion (2018, 2019, 2021), was the first skater to land five different types of quadruple jumps in competition, the first skater to land six quadruple jumps in a free program, and the first skater to land eight quadruple jumps across a single competition. Chen has broken multiple world and national records and is the current world record holder for two competition segments in the senior men's discipline; the short program and combined total score, and former world record holder in the free skate.

When Chen captured his first U.S. title at the 2017 U.S Championships at age 17, he became the youngest national champion since Dick Button (1946). That same year, he won the Four Continents title and the first of three successive grand prix final titles. Chen won his first world title in 2018 and became the youngest world champion since Evgeni Plushenko (2001). He repeated as world champion in 2019, and in 2021, he was the first U.S. man to win three world titles in a row since Scott Hamilton (1982–1984).[note 1] In early January 2022, Chen became the first man to win six consecutive U.S. championships since Button (1946–52), and a month later, at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, he was the first Asian American man to win Olympic gold.

Chen has received numerous accolades in recognition of his achievements and impact. In the ensuing months after he stood atop the podium in Beijing, Chen earned nominations for several notable awards, including a Laureus World Sports Award, a People's Choice Award, an ESPY, and a James E. Sullivan Award. He was named Most Valuable Skater at the International Skating Union's ISU Awards in 2023, and Time magazine included him in its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2022.

World record scores

[edit]

Chen set seven world record scores in the +5/-5 grade of execution (GOE) system; one in the short program, three in the free program, and three in the combined total score.[note 2]

International maximum scores

[edit]

Technical element scores

[edit]

Each technical element of a program is assigned a base value, which gives skaters credit for every element they perform. Some elements, such as spins, and step sequences, have levels of difficulty (level 1 is the lowest, level 4 is the highest) on which the base values are established. A judging panel grades the quality of each element using the grade of execution score (GOE) within a range of −5 to +5 (the historical system prior to the 2018–19 season had a range between +3/-3), which is added to or deducted from the base value. GOEs are proportional to the base value of each element. The highest and lowest scores for each element are thrown out, and the remaining scores are averaged to determine the final GOE for each element. The GOE is then added to or subtracted from the base value for each element, and the sum of the scores for all elements forms the technical score.[68] In the current +5/-5 system, Chen has received 4 perfect scores for two technical elements in international competition, his choreographic sequence and level four step sequence.

Notes and references

[edit]
  1. ^ The 2020 World Championships were canceled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
  2. ^ Figure skating was formerly judged in a system with a 6.0 scale. The International Skating Union adopted a new judging system in 2003 based on a code of points, using grades of execution (GOE) within a range of −3 to +3. The range changed to −5 to +5 from the 2018–19 season.[3]
