In remarkable fashion, Nathan Chen became the Olympic champion in 2022. With his spectacular performance, he set a new world record at the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022. He left his competitors far behind with his score and earned the gold medal for his heroics to the tune of RocketMan by Elton John.
With a combined score of 332.60, he proved his dominance in the sport. However, the one thing that caught everyone’s attention was Nathan Chen’s outfit at the Olympics. Decked in shades of red and black and all things fire, Chen’s outfit garnered mixed reactions from fans.
However, Chen was seen in a different outfit on the Stars On Ice tour recently. And fans think it is a level up, all things considered.
