2017年全美花式滑冰锦标赛,年仅17岁的台裔美籍小将陈楷雯今晚以近乎完美的表现拿下冠军。

目前居住在旧金山湾区Fremont的陈楷雯(Karen Chen),父母都来自台湾台北,陈楷雯也曾获得驻旧金山台北经济文化办事处颁奖表扬为杰出华裔青少年。

陈楷雯2015年以15岁年龄也曾参加全美花式滑冰锦标赛以199.79分拿下铜牌。

陈楷雯说得一口流利中文,个头小小的她,在私下有着和年轻相符的纯真微笑,但一旦踏进冰场,陈楷雯就活脱成为了另一个勇敢的斗士,她的一颦一笑都随着音乐变换,随着舞动的身体和情绪转变。

每一次轻盈落地,陈楷雯的脸上都绽放出最舒心和自信的笑容,她并不愿预设成绩,只希望能在比赛中做得很好,每一个跳跃都能很稳,也能对自己有信心。


KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Karen Chen probably didn’t see Ashley Wagner giving her a curt nod from the ice, not with her face buried in her hands after another memorable performance at the U.S. figure skating championships.

The three-time champion was focused on warming up for her own performance in the free skate, yet Wagner couldn’t help but acknowledge near-perfection — and the standard she now faced.

Wagner proceeded to lay down her own dramatic program, but it wasn’t enough to overtake Fremont’s 17-year-old Chen. Her elegant short program performed to “On Golden Pond” was followed by a darker, more emotional free skate set to “Jealousy Tango” that made her a surprising first-time national champion.

“I skated such a great short and I was definitely thrilled with it,” Chen said, “so I definitely had some pressure going into the long, thinking I really had a chance at this.”

The bronze medalist two years ago, Chen’s free skate score of 141.40 gave her a 214.22 total, which stood up when Wagner under-rotated a combination and had a final combination spin reduced to a Level 2 in her own program. That left the world silver medalist with a score of 140.84 and a 211.78 composite.

“Karen has deserved the placement she’s gotten so far. That’s awesome for figure skating,” Wagner said. “I think we’re going to be seeing a very strong world team.”

Mariah Bell earned bronze with a free skate set to music from “East of Eden,” the silver medalist from Skate America overcoming a shaky beginning with a strong finish.

Earlier in the day, Maia and Alex Shibutani weathered a nervous few minutes watching Madison Chock and Evan Bates before winning their second consecutive ice dance gold, while Haven Denney and Brandon Frazier made a triumphant return from injury to win the pairs competition.

“We’re very pleased with the progression that both programs have made over the course of the last several months,” Alex Shibutani said, “but particularly between Grand Prix Final and this competition.”

Defending champion Gracie Gold, whose season has been such a disappointment, continued to struggle in the ladies’ free skate. She had a two-foot landing on a triple loop early in the program, then singled a double axel, and never was able to get back on track.

She almost looked defeated as she skated off the ice, hugging a stuffed animal tightly.

“I’m just not processing any emotions yet,” Gold said. “I’m just choosing not to process any because it’s just, again more, kind of bad feelings — changes I need. Improvements I need.”

Chen followed her record-breaking short program, choreographed by herself, with another dazzling performance to cap the penultimate night of nationals. She landed six triples, her spin positions were sublime, and she even managed to flash a big grin after landing a triple lutz.

When her score was revealed, she buried her face in her hands, almost in disbelief.

“There was definitely a lot of pressure, knowing that I skated the short of my dreams,” she said. “I wanted to follow it up with a close-to-perfect long.”

After giving the leader a curt nod, Wagner proceeded to give her program everything she had. She landed seven triples with the hallmark showmanship that has served her so well on the national stage, and even earned a standing ovation for the performance.

She didn’t earn the score she needed, though. Not quite.

“I know you always you want to come away from this with a win. But my goal from the start of this has been to get through nationals,” Wagner said, “especially coming off a difficult Grand Prix season.”

Chen, no relation to men’s star Nathan Chen, showed potential two years ago when finishing third at the U.S. championships by edging San Jose Olympian Polina Edmunds, who was fourth. But Chen was too young to qualify for the senior World Championships then.

    看不惯那些无耻之徒往自己脸上贴金。华裔不华裔与你有屌毛关系?不论哪个族裔,首先人家是美国人。就像骆家辉到中国当大使似的,有些人热泪盈眶,以为来了个自己人。其实根本不是那么回事。能不能不要那么天真无知?在世界上太天真不会被认为可爱,而是会被认为“傻逼”。
