Chen scored 215.08 for his long program.
"I was a little over it after the short program," Chen told NBC after the free skate. "I wasn't in the right mindset. [The free] felt incredible... Usually halfway I'm gassed and dead, but I didn't feel it at all today."
8:50 p.m..: Women's super-g start time pushed back
Lindsey Vonn's first race at the Pyeongchang Olympics is the latest to be delayed because of strong winds.

Vonn was drawn to be the first racer down the hill at Jeongseon Alpine Center.
She won a bronze in the super-G at the 2010 Vancouver Games, where she also won a gold medal in the downhill. The 33-year-old American missed the 2014 Sochi Olympics after surgery on her right knee.
