American figure skater Nathan Chen is one of the main athletes to watch as we head into the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. The 22-year-old star is a favorite at the Games. He began his 2022 Olympic journey with a strong short program, opening the team competition with a 111.71 score, putting him at first place. His score helped the American team land in first place on day one of the three day event, with 28 points.

Chen’s Olympic journey in Beijing comes with high expectations and the hope of not repeating what happened in 2018 in South Korea. At those Games, despite a strong start, mistakes not typical for Chen caused him to finish fifth.
He has dominated international competition in the four years since then. True redemption would come in Beijing if he wins gold. If Chen does, he would be America’s first gold medalist in singles skating in over a decade. Below is his complete schedule for the Winter Games.
