In addition, he has won national medals at the juvenile (bronze, 2008), intermediate (silver, 2009), and junior (bronze, 2013) levels.

Chen, 14, trains at the East West Ice Palace in Artesia, Calif., and represents Salt Lake Figure Skating. He is coached by Rafael Arutunian, Nadia Kanaeva, and Vera Arutunian. Kanaeva choreographed his competitive programs this season.
Chen began his international season in September by winning consecutive gold medals at ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) events in Mexico City, Mexico, and in Minsk, Belarus. He has qualified for his first ISU Junior Grand Prix Final, which will be held in Fukuoka, Japan, December 5-8, 2013.
