American Nathan Chen became the first man to land five quadruple jumps in a performance at an ISU championship, winning the Four Continents on Sunday in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Chen, 17, set international-best scores across the board, finishing with 307.46 points while holding off a challenge by Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu, who was first in Sunday's free skate.
"This feels great," said Chen, the U.S. champion. "I tried five quads today and I landed three of the five solidly. The other two were a little shaky, so that's something I need to improve on for the worlds."
Hanyu, third after the short program, was second overall with 303.71 points.
