The American Nathan Chen, double reigning world champion in figure skating, flew over Friday in Las Vegas (Nevada) the short program of Skate America, the first important meeting of a season shaken by the Covid pandemic. 19. Chen disgusted the competition with a short program designed to flamenco music and credited with a score of 111.17 points, a new personal best. His previous short program record was 110.38 points in the 2020 Grand Prix final. The 21-year-old American is clearly ahead of his compatriot Vincent Zhou (99.36 pts) and the Canadian Keegan Messing (92.40 pts).
