US Figure Skating Championship Results - Womens, Mens & Pairs Short Program
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Nathan Chen made it look easy on the ice and in the standings Thursday night, running away with the short program at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships.
The defending champion and America's best hope for an Olympic gold medal next month at the Pyeongchang Games, the 18-year-old Chen spun his usual quad magic, hitting two of the four-rotation jumps, one in competition. His energy lit up the SAP Center, and though his triple axel was funky, Chen earned 104.45 points.
That's territory none of his countrymen can reach.
Coming closest was veteran Adam Rippon, who had a career-best 96.52. Jason Brown, a 2014 team bronze medalist at the Sochi Olympics, was third heading to Saturday's free skate at 93.23.
Grant Hochstein put on the performance of his life, nailing every element and drawing the first standing ovation of the competition to wind up fourth at 92.18.

Bradie Tennell highlights unpredictable U.S. figure skating championships short program
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Skating never, ever disappoints. Just when you think you’ve figured it out, or seen it all, everything changes.
Take the women’s short program Wednesday night at the 2018 U.S. figure skating national championships. Veteran Ashley Wagner, the heavily promoted face of the fall Olympic preview season, is in trouble.
Another veteran, Mirai Nagasu, flubbed her big jump, but still was rewarded for her efforts. Last year’s national champion, Karen Chen, rebounded from a difficult season with an elegant skate at just the right moment.
And a star is born — or close to it, anyway. Bradie Tennell, the 19-year-old with the highest international score of any U.S. woman this season, continued her rise with a technically impeccable short program.
