00:05of facing high expectations, and a disappointing performance at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics.
00:11Chen, a three-time world champion, understands the pressure Malinan is under, having struggled
00:17with similar expectations himself. Chen's comments come after Malinan's recent performances,
00:23including a fourth-place finish at the Europeans and a disappointing showing at the world
00:27championships. Malinan, known for his impressive quad jumps, has been touted as a gold medal
00:33contender, but Chen warns that the pressure can be overwhelming. Chen's own struggles at the 2018
00:39Olympics, where he fell to fifth place, motivated him to work harder and ultimately led to his gold
00:45medal win at the 2020 to Beijing Olympics. He advises Malinan to focus on enjoying the process
00:51and not getting too high or too low based on results.
