Four years after Salt Lake City figure skater Nathan Chen won Olympic gold, he'll be in Milan-Cortina for the 2026 Olympics. He won't be skating, but he will have influence on the outcome of the single men's competition.

The male figure skaters took to the ice on Saturday, prompting many to wonder where is Olympic gold medalist Nathan Chen. The decorated skater was last seen on the Olympic stage in Beijing, where the Olympian won two gold medals. He brought home gold in the men's singles figure skating event and in the team competition.

The Olympic figure skater, who won two gold medals at the 2022 Beijing Games, will not defend his title as he's amid a career change.

Where is Nathan Chen? The Olympic gold medalist explains why he isn’t competing at the 2026 Winter Games and what he’s doing instead.

Heading into the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, Nathan Chen was a massive star and one of the primary favorites to win the gold medal in men’s figure skating.

"Congratulations," it read. "Welcome to our chat." "This is everything," Chen typed back in reply.

The special tribute show, titled "Legacy on Ice," will feature performances by more than 40 athletes over two hours at Capital One Arena.
