PAUL – We have seen the future of U.S. figure skating and it is Nathan Chen. Chen, 16, made history Sunday at the national championships by landing four quadruple jumps in his long program, more than any American skater ever, giving him a total of six over the two days of competition, a previously unthinkable number for a U.S. skater. He did not win the men’s title, however.
