The Quad King.
Do you know who I’m talking about?
In the recent 2018 Winter Olympics, U.S. Olympic figure skater, Nathan Chen performed the impossible. He became the first figure skater to perform six quads in one program.
Six quads!!
I still remember when Elvis Stojko landed the first quad combination!
Despite Chen’s heroics and the fact that he set an olympic record, he didn’t end up medaling.
In fact, according to the Washington Post, after his devastating short program where he placed 17th place, he “retreated to his room in the athletes’ village Friday and, for once, didn’t dissect his shortcomings in clinical detail. Nor did he torture himself for falling so terribly short and blowing any chance at an Olympic medal…
…Chen put his head on a pillow and fell asleep.”
Have you ever wondered what olympic athletes do after their competitions and what this has to do with leadership in the church?
