Team event up 1st as Olympic figure skating begins

Associated Press  

BEIJING — The team competition in Olympic figure skating has always been a three-team scramble for the podium. “It’s important any time you compete,” said Nathan Chen, who performed his short program for the U.S. team in Pyeongchang and finished a lackluster fourth in it. “The pairs will have the hardest time moving from the front end to the back end.” How the team event shakes out could depend largely upon which skaters each nation selects. Along with Chen, they have another men’s medal contender in high-flying but inconsistent Vincent Zhou, and veteran Jason Brown, whose fourth-place free skate during the team event in Sochi helped the U.S. win bronze. “I would love to be a part of the team event and especially since I didn’t get to experience it last time,” Karen Chen said, “so if I’m able to, it’s going to be so much fun.” ___ More AP Winter Olympics: https://apnews.com/hub/winter-olympics and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
