    Get excited, folks. There will be plenty of Asian-American representation at the Olympics. In fact, Team USA will have 7 Asian-Americans representing the US in the Olympic Winter Games taking place in South Korea, with a total of 14 skaters overall.

    The 7 Asian-American figure skaters are Nathan Chen, Karen Chen, Madison Chock, Mirai Nagasu, Maia Shibutani, Alex Shibutani, and Vincent Zhou. You can find the list of competing athletes here.

    Here are the 7 Asian-Americans competing for the Gold:

    At 18 and already a two-time national champion, Chen is among the favorites for the Pyeongchang Games. Chen is known for mastering five different types of quadruple jumps, and that sets him apart from his competition.

    Karen Chen, 18, first caught the world’s eye three years ago after winning bronze at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in 2015. She’s continued that momentum ever since, earning a gold medal and a record-breaking short program score of 72.82 at the 2017 U.S. Championships.
