Chan, 19, was a silver medallist at the 2009 world championships but has had a difficult season in the lead-up to his first Olympics, with a calf injury and a coaching change.
Skating to Tango de los Exilados, Chan stumbled on his opening triple Axel — he didn't fall, but he stepped out of the landing, losing valuable points. He also made a costly error at the end of the short program, continuing to skate after the music stopped.
I think he is still young and will have a bright future, but not this time.
