DETROIT – Nathan Chen does it again.
Chen won his third consecutive U.S. Championship title on Sunday afternoon, completing four quadruple jumps and topping the field by a 58.21-point margin.
Chen extended his short program lead by scoring an eye-popping 228.80 in the free skate for an overall score of 342.22 points.
“I mean… I’m at a loss for words. Thank you so, so much for supporting me throughout that program,” he told the Little Caesars Arena crowd.
He is now the first U.S. man since Johnny Weir to win three national titles (2004-06).
