. He finished 17th in the event, which was supposed to be the beginning of a potential medal run. A victory in the long program portion left him fifth overall, two spots off the podium.
Chen talked Thursday about his decision to start working with a sports psychologist, which he called"really helpful." He tried to devote more time to his interests off the ice. He brought an electric guitar with him to Beijing and, before his long program, was throwing a football back and forth with Bell down a hallway at the arena.
"Once that started happening, I was kind of grooving a little bit more and enjoying the program," he said.
