help but be drawn into the fun and excitement of winter sports! I mean, how often do you get to watch fully grown adults launch themselves down an icy slide solely holding onto a metal sled, while laying down head rst? For me, it only happens every 4 year, maybe I should look into watching Skeleton more often? Nevertheless, I digress, and hope that regardless of the sports you choose to indulge

in, no one can deny the amount of coverage and interest that was attached to gure skating this year. Nathan Chen skated 4 nearly awless performances and completed upwards of 85 revolutions in the air throughout his 4 programs. However, his success in these games come as an improvement from his performances 4 years ago in Peyongchang where he was unable to live up to the expectations for his rst Olympics appearance. In 2018, Chen skated a disastrous short program, with a fall on his quad lutz that left in his 17th place, putting entirely out of medal contention. He came back for his free with a nearly awless skate that rocketed him up to 5th place. That ability to come back from a less than desirable skate gave Chen the needed push to work harder and smarter for 2022. He then spent the next 4 years of his life working on a sport that he loves, began his Ivy League education at Yale University, and put more of his focus on both his physical and mental health. Fortunately for him, his hard work payed off just in time for his second trip to the Olympics where did nothing short of impress everyone watching in the stands and at home all over the world. His free skate performance to selections from Elton John biopic, “Rocketman”, was equal parts elegant, athletic, and downright invigorating. He spent 4 minutes giving everyone a show and his own depiction of what Chen showed us that he is not only a literal quad machine, but he is graceful, entertaining, and absolutely irrevocably, the complete embodiment of what an Olympic champion is.
