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."
