Nathan Chen said he intends to enter Yale University this fall and continue his figure skating career, according to reporter Phil Hersh.
“A lot of things still have to be worked out,” Chen said, according to Hersh. A request has been sought for confirmation from Chen, who is training in Florida for the start of the Stars on Ice tour.
Chen isn’t the first U.S. Olympic figure skating medalist to be accepted to Yale. That would be 2002 Olympic champion Sarah Hughes.
But while Hughes attended Yale after retiring from skating, Chen plans to take classes while continuing to compete in this Olympic cycle.
