Nathan Chen
Pyeongchang (South Korea) (AFP)  â American prodigy Nathan Chen  became the first figure skater to land six quads as  he  set an Olympic record in the free skate at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics on Saturday.
The 18-year-old had bombed on Friday in a nervy short programme that left  him  languishing in 17th place going into the decisive day.
But  Chen  could yet grab a medal after a remarkable free skate that earned  him  215.08 points  one of the highest scores ever seen in the sport.
 Chen  did it on the back of six quads â four rotations in the air â breaking  his  own record of five set last year.
âI have been working on it for a while. Itâs never really fully come together â  Chen  said.
