Biography
Karen Chen was born and raised in Fremont, California and started figure skating at the age of 5. When she was 12 years old, she met fellow Fremont native, 1992 Olympic Champion Kristi Yamaguchi, and since then Kristi became Karen's skating mentor.
At 22 years old, Karen is a decorated skater with a 2017 U.S National Champion title, a 2022 U.S. National Silver medal, and three U.S. National Bronze medals (2015, 2018, 2021). Besides being a gifted figure skater, Karen is a talented academic. She was admitted to Cornell University's School of Human Ecology as part of the class of 2023 and will major in Human Biology, Health and Society on a pre-med track.
In 2017, Karen published a memoir titled Finding The Edge: My Life on the Ice, in which she revealed that she suffered from the medical condition, Spondylolisthesis, but that hasn't slowed her down - Karen is at the top of her game, closing 2021 with a fourth place finish at Worlds and heading into 2022 aiming for the podium at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
