Nathan had been a favorite for the title, even back in the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics. However, still green on the global stage, he flubbed three major jumping passes in the short program, unable to take the pressure and falling to 17th position. In a turn of events, in the free program at Pyeongchang, Chen wrote history by packing 6 quads in his program and rising to 5th in combined scores, earning the highest scores in the free skate.
