Nathan Chen and the U.S. figure skating team took a surprising lead on the opening day of competition at the Beijing Olympics. Beijing2022
The 2022 Beijing Olympics will be the most gender balanced Winter Games in history.BEIJING -- It was supposed to be a foregone conclusion that Russia's powerful stable of figure skaters, including world champions in three of the four disciplines, would run away with the team gold medal at the Beijing Olympics.The three-time world champ's winning short program set the tone for Team USA on Friday, and everyone else followed suit.
In fact, the only discipline they didn't win was pairs. Knierim and Frazier were third behind China's Sui Wenjing and Han Cong, who set a world record with their short program, and Russians Anastasia Mishina and Aleksandr Galliamov. Chen received 111.71 points, a mark that would have won the men's short program in Pyeongchang, and one that put him well clear of reigning Olympic silver medalist Shoma Uno of Japan on Friday.
World champions Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov were the last ice dance duo to skate, but their program began to go awry during their twizzles. It briefly fell apart when Katsalapov stumbled during their midline step sequence, a mistake that left them in second place with 86.06 points.Perhaps. But not on Friday.
