It took American figure skater Nathan Chen 4 minutes and 30 seconds to make history last week during his free skate at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. In that time the 18-year-old phenom landed a record-setting six quadruple jumps.
The spectacle would have seemed impossible just a few years ago. But after Chen’s skate it didn’t take long before fans began wondering about the next figure skating milestone. Is the quad the limit — or will skaters one day be doing quintuple jumps?
