The 18-year-old, who was born and raised in Salt Lake City, is one of the headlining talents at the 2017 U.S. International Figure Skating Classic at the Salt Lake City Sports Complex. The competition, one in a series of 10 competitions that makes up the 2017 ISU Challenger Series, begins Thursday night and ends Saturday.
Chen is the reigning 2017 U.S. Champion and considered the next great American male figure skater. Chen, a daredevil on the ice, became the first skater ever to perform and land five quadruple jumps in one program in January.
