(Reuters) -Nathan Chen claimed redemption at the Beijing Games on Tuesday after his world record short programme in the men's figure skating helped erase the disappointment of his Pyeongchang flop four years ago.

The world champion's stunning 113.97-point skate at Capital Indoor Stadium wiped the previous record of 111.82 set by Japanese rival and Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu at the 2020 Four Continents tournament.
