Chen begins redemption mission with record routine

Nathan Chen had just shattered the world record for a figure skating short program, even throwing a defiant fist in a rare display of emotion, when he was asked how he'd spend the next 48 hours before his long-awaited Olympic coronation.

"I've been here a while," the 22-year-old American star replied with a shrug Tuesday. "I've got some clothes to wash. Some other things to clean around my room. Just ordinary chores, really. Nothing crazy."

He left the crazy－the downright stunning－on the ice of Beijing's historic Capital Indoor Stadium.
