Skating Icons, Celebs Congratulate Nathan Chen on Historic 6-Quad Skate: 'This Is Who We Waited For'

Toby Lambert, February 17, 2018

After back-to-back disappointments during his first two Olympic skates, Nathan Chen delivered a jaw-dropping six quads during his final Olympic outing Saturday morning (Friday evening stateside) — in a performance that had the skating world dizzy with excitement as the kudos poured in on Twitter.

“What?!?!?! Completely inhuman display of ridiculousness!!! 6 quads…beautiful skating. Guys beyond. Congratulations @nathanwchen” gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi tweeted alongside her handwritten scorecard of his performance.

Two-time Olympic medalist Michelle Kwan put it even more succinctly: “HOLY QUADS.”

While Dick Button, a two-time Olympic champ, proved he’s still pop culture savvy at 88 in the way he congratulated the skater.

“Chen — Complete package good for you. This is who we waited for. Like Beyonce you’re back on the stage.”
