China Daily | Updated: 2018-01-09 07:26

LOS ANGELES - Ross Miner was denied a berth at next month's Winter Olympics by a US Figure Skating selection committee on Sunday, hours after his runner-up effort at the national championships.

Teen star Nathan Chen, who landed five quadruple jumps to defend his crown at San Jose and remain unbeaten this season, heads the American team for Pyeongchang, which also includes third-place teen Vincent Zhou, like Chen the son of Chinese immigrants, and fourth-place Adam Rippon, the 2016 US champion.

Miner rose from fifth after the short program with a strong free skate on Saturday to finish second but it wasn't enough to convince the selection committee he deserved a spot in South Korea over Zhou or Rippon.
