Figure skater Nathan Chen broke his own US scoring record in the men's short program at the US Figure Skating Championships in Nashville, Tennessee, on Saturday.
Performing to music from"La Boheme," Chen scored 115.39 points -- breaking the record of 114.13 he had set in 2020 -- to take the lead in the short program and move closer to a sixth consecutive national title. The 22-year-old Chen's short program included a quad flip and a quad lutz-triple toe loop as he finished ahead of Vincent Zhou's score of 112.78 and Ilia Malinin's 103.46 -- personal best scores for both those skaters, too.

Nathan Chen describes the feeling of landing a quad 01:10"This US Championships short program was insane," said Chen as he reflected on the high-scoring nature of the competition in Nashville."Every guy laid down an amazing program, so it's a huge honor to be up here with these two guys, and I'm happy to start the competition off this way.
