Are Olympic Figure Skaters Karen Chen & Nathan Chen Related?
Nathan Chen and Karen Chen are both on the Team USA Figure Skating Team this year — and many Olympic watchers might think they’re related, but they’re not.
They’re not brother and sister, not even cousins. They’re just two figure skaters who happen to share a fairly common last name.
“We come from a similar background and both our parents went through a lot to give us the opportunity to skate and help us be successful,” Nathan shared in an interview.
He adds, “I think what Karen and I represent is everything that our parents stand for and how they raised us.”
Karen will make her Olympic debut TONIGHT!
