Feb 17, 2018 2:53 AM UTC Nathan Chen proved he is the king of quads by making history with six [quadruple jumps](http://time.com/5164041/quad-jump-figure-skating-olympics/) in the figure skating long program at the 2018 Winter Olympics. Chen, who broke hearts across the U.S. Thursday when he came in 17th during the [figure skating men’s short program](http://time.com/5131418/nathan-chen-olympics-figure-skating-long-program/), came back with a vengeance in the long program Friday, and set new Olympics quad jump record in the process. Chen, who became the first figure skater to make five quad jumps during a competition in 2017, broke his own record during the long program Friday by pulling off six quad jumps. He earned a total of 215.08 points — a new personal best — 297.35 points in total, and was in first place by the end of his program. After a disappointing night for many who were following Chen this week, the win felt like redemption to all his fans and was a moment of pride for former U.S. figure skaters. > [](https://twitter.com/USFigureSkating/status/964687510969376768) > [](https://twitter.com/MichelleWKwan/status/964688460161343490) > [](https://twitter.com/Rylee%5Fjones97/status/964689524575162368) > [](https://twitter.com/Lin%5FManuel/status/964689515611910144) > [](https://twitter.com/Meryl%5FDavis/status/964688616533446656) Winter Olympics 2018: Nathan Chen Lands Six Quad Jumps ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5164072/nathan-chen-quad-jump-figure-skating/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5164072/nathan-chen-quad-jump-figure-skating/"},"headline":"Nathan Chen Just Turned His Disappointing Start Into Olympic History With 6 Quad Jumps","datePublished":"2018-02-17T02:53:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T19:20:07.748Z","description":"Proving that he is truly the king of quads","url":"https://time.com/5164072/nathan-chen-quad-jump-figure-skating/","keywords":["2018 Pyeongchang Olympics","Winter Olympics","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfdd6a5da687c4a8b/69892811fb4eac0cb4895bf0/nathan-chen-quad-jumps-long-program-winter-olympics.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Mahita Gajanan","jobTitle":"Gajanan is an editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/mahita-gajanan/"}],"articleSection":"Sports","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfdd6a5da687c4a8b/69892811fb4eac0cb4895bf0/nathan-chen-quad-jumps-long-program-winter-olympics.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Nathan Chen Quad Jumps Long Program Winter Olympics","caption":"Nathan Chen Quad Jumps Long Program Winter Olympics","creditText":"ARIS MESSINIS—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/sports/","name":"Sports"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2018-pyeongchang-olympics/","name":"2018 Pyeongchang Olympics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5164072/nathan-chen-quad-jump-figure-skating/","name":"Nathan Chen Just Turned His Disappointing Start Into Olympic History With 6 Quad Jumps"}}]}] ```
