Mariah Bell is a close friend of Chen's, and the two train together. "I don't want to put words in his mouth, but obviously he's feeling the weight of the world," Bell said of Chen. "He handled it so well. He deserves to be an Olympic champion, because few people can handle it." She added, too, that she knew he secured gold before he started his free skate.
