Chen had a rough start in the men’s single figure skating on Friday and was at one point in 17th place.
And Chen landed an incredible five clean quadruple jumps – almost nailing a sixth.

So it was five clean quads and another one that didn’t quitemake it – and made the highest individual score of the day.
When asked why he went for six quads, he said: “I already fell so many times, I might as well go out, throw everything down and see what happens.”
