CNN
American ice skater Nathan Chen has won his first Olympic Gold medal with a flawless performance that set him well above the competition in the men's free skate on Thursday.
Chen, who had been the favorite going into Thursday's event, pulled off his win with long program packed with moves to show off the technical prowess that has earned the 22-year-old the nickname of the "quad king."
His long program opened with a quadruple flip, followed by a triple toe loop. He nailed every jump and move, with a total of five quad jumps, including a quadruple lutz.
The Republican-led House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on Thursday morning will send a letter to US Attorney General Merrick Garland referring a potential criminal case involving former New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo to the Department of Justice, alleging he lied to Congress.
