Nathan Chen is going back to the Grand Prix Final for another possible showdown with Yuzuru Hanyu. Jason Brown, if he keeps this up, is on his way to a rebound season after missing the PyeongChang Olympic team. The world champion Chen won his fifth straight Grand Prix event, moving from third after the short program to overtake Brown and prevail by 15.25 points at Internationaux de France on Saturday. Chen landed three quadruple jumps in a clean, watered-down free skate, totaling 271.58 between two programs. “I’m still not at the level I should be technically,” Chen, who had a record six quads in his PyeongChang Olympic free skate (five clean), said, according to the Olympic Channel. “There’s a lot of work to be done, but whatever I did, I did. I am pretty satisfied. “What I did today was the maximum of my capabilities as of right now and we’ll see about the future.” Grand Prix 2018 - Internationaux de France Men Final Standings: 🥇1 @nathanwchen 🇺🇸 🥈2 @jasonbskates 🇺🇸 🥉3 Alexander Samarin 🇷🇺
