| Wow! Watch American skater Vincent Zhou do his quadruple lutz. |
VINCENT ZHOU of San Jose, Calif. became the first skater Thursday night to land a quadruple lutz at an Olympics.
You can watch his performance at SF Gate.
He scored an 84.53 and placed 12th in the preliminary competition going into the finals.
Zhou, 17, says he is pleased with his performance, but knows he can do better.
Patrick Chan of Canada is in sixth place, but 14 points behind third place finisher Shoma Uno of Japan.
Meanwhile, America’s best hope for a gold medal in the men’s competition had a rough night. Nathan Chen slipped once and fell twice.
He is currently in 17th place. He told reporters he made every mistake possible.
His showing follows another poor skate during the team competition.
However, Team USA held on to win a bronze medal.
The men's figure skating finals continue tonight, which NBC will live stream at 8 p.m. ET, 5 p.m. Pacific.
