Clearly back on his game, Nathan Chen set a short program record at the US figure skating championships on Saturday.
With a performance full of superb footwork and spins – oh, yeah, there were two massive quads in it, too – Chen sent a message to all his competitors, here and abroad. His 115.39 points beat the nationals mark of 114.13 he set in 2020.
