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 Wagnergiving her a curt nod from the ice, not with her face buried in herhands after another memorable performance at the U.S. figureskating championships.
The three-time champion was focused on warming up for her ownperformance in the free skate, yet Wagner couldn’t help butacknowledge near-perfection— and the standard she now faced.
Wagner proceeded to lay down her own dramatic program, but itwasn’t enough to overtake Fremont’s17-year-old Chen. Her elegantshort program performed to“On Golden Pond” was followed by adarker, more emotional free skate set to“Jealousy Tango” that madeher a surprising first-time national champion.
“I skated such a great short and I was definitely thrilled withit,” Chen said,“so I definitely had some pressure going into thelong, thinking I really had a chance at this.”
The bronze medalist two years ago, Chen’s free skate score of141.40 gave her a214.22 total, which stood up when Wagnerunder-rotated a combination and had a final combination spinreduced to a Level2 in her own program. That left the world silvermedalist with a score of140.84 and a211.78 composite.
“Karen has deserved the placement she’s gotten so far. That’sawesome for figure skating,” Wagner said.“I think we’re going tobe seeing a very strong world team.”
Mariah Bell earned bronze with a free skate set to music from“Eastof Eden,” the silver medalist from Skate America overcoming a shakybeginning with a strong finish.
Earlier in the day, Maia and Alex Shibutani weathered a nervous fewminutes watching Madison Chock and Evan Bates before winning theirsecond consecutive ice dance gold, while Haven Denney and BrandonFrazier made a triumphant return from injury to win the pairscompetition.
“We’re very pleased with the progression that both programs havemade over the course of the last several months,” Alex Shibutanisaid,“but particularly between Grand Prix Final and thiscompetition.”
Defendingchampion Gracie Gold, whose season has been such a disappointment,continued to struggle in the ladies’ free skate. She had a two-footlanding on a triple loop early in the program, then singled adouble axel, and never was able to get back on track.
She almost looked defeated as she skated off the ice, hugging astuffed animal tightly.
“I’m just not processing any emotions yet,” Gold said.“I’m justchoosing not to process any because it’s just, again more, kind ofbad feelings— changes I need. Improvements I need.”
Chen followed her record-breaking short program, choreographed byherself, with another dazzling performance to cap the penultimatenight of nationals. She landed six triples, her spin positions weresublime, and she even managed to flash a big grin after landing atriple 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 theshort of my dreams,” she said.“I wanted to follow it up with aclose-to-perfect long.”
After giving the leader a curt nod, Wagner proceeded to give herprogram everything she had. She landed seven triples with thehallmark showmanship that has served her so well on the nationalstage, 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. Butmy goal from the start of this has been to get through nationals,”Wagner said,“especially coming off a difficult Grand Prixseason.”
Chen, no relation to men’s star Nathan Chen, showed potentialtwo years ago when finishing third at the U.S. championships byedging San Jose Olympian Polina Edmunds, who was fourth. But Chenwas too young to qualify for the senior World Championshipsthen.
