Nathan Chen #1 - Going for the Gold!

Nathan Chen Appreciation Thread



Nathan Chen started skating in Salt Lake City at the age of 3 after watching his two older brothers play hockey. His two older sisters used to participate in figure skating as well. In addition to skating, he competed in gymnastics at the state and regional levels for seven years and previously trained in ballet with Ballet West Academy. Nathan entered his first figure skating competition in 2003 and is a four-time U.S. national champion (2010 & 2011 in Novice, 2012 & 2014 in Junior). He won the U.S. bronze medalist (senior level) in 2016. He is the reigning U.S Champion and Four Continents Champion. Bio | Nathan Chen
