Nathan Chen recovered from two of the most disastrous skates of his career with a free skate on Friday night that produced Olympic history.
The 18-year-old, who entered the second portion of the men's competition in 17th place, marveled on the ice at Gangneung Ice Arena, as he produced an Olympic record of six quads in a single routine.
Thanks to his sextet of quads, the Utah native recorded the best free skate score of his career by 11 points, as ESPN Stats & Info noted:
Chen displayed no fear during his final Olympic skate in which he rebounded from a pair of short programs littered with mistakes in the team event and men's competition.
