The American held the lead after the opening day after setting a personal best in the men's short programme - and he was in scintillating form as he dominated the field at the Torino Palavela.

Yuzuru Hanyu was Chen's closest rival on day two, with the Japanese seeking victory on his 25th birthday but Chen, a 2018 Winter Olympics bronze medallist, was not in the mood to finish second.

Kevin Aymoz from France finished third on 275.63 points.

Russia's Alena Kostornaia won the women's final, finishing clear of her compatriots Anna Shcherbakova and world junior champion Alexandra Trusova.

In the ice dance, French pair Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron, who had led with 83.83 points after day one, claimed the title with a total of 219.85 points.
