Both Lazukin and Efremenkov are not very stable. Difference between best and worst scores past season were more than 40. 155 in one competition, 185 in another, for example.

Chen means business, 75.15 and over 43 in tech, holy cow! This kid just turned 13 and is not even 5 ft tall, but looking at his scores, he must have nailed 3-3 and 3a! PCS certainly impressive for one so young and new to the scene as well. 14 point lead!

Nathan Chen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TjYCF8iAfs&feature=g-all-u

Wow! That was impressive. I am amazed at how much ice coverage he has for such a tiny guy. Also, I loved that he put his last two jumping passes later in the program (not to mention that racks him an extra 1.63 to his base value). That step sequence in the middle of the program is a beaut!

Also looking at the protocols, he only got one negative GOE from just one judge, with the triple flip (-1). Otherwise lots of +1 and +2! Great job!

ETA: That 75 score would put Nathan Chen on the top for the SP among the US men (and I think for the overall JGP field thus far):

Nathan Chen 75.15
Joshua Farris 72.20
Jason Brown 59.33
Harrison Choate 57.67
Jay Yostanto 53.84
James Schetelich 37.87

Nathan is just awesome. His ballet training has done him a world of good and is incredibly apparent in his skating, his posture and overall carriage are exceptional for a 13 year old by. And oh my goodness his ice coverage has improved so much, not to mention his speed and maturity. The 3a definitely gets a lot of pop and rotation does not seem to be an issue for him and that footwork was amazing! He really has stepped it up and is showing that despite his age and size, he can keep up with the big guys and skate like one. That was a really mature performance, while still managing to be age appropriate. Can't wait to see his FS!

You mean the quad?
Must be since Nathan landed a 3A on the first try for the first time under real PRESSURE!! Unless sky_fly20 is implying the size of Nathan's jumps. As a comparative to his size, they are quite large but compared to an almost fully grown 17 year old, they're "small". :)

Ah, the ballet training does explain a lot of things. His toe point -- something that I don't think about with guys -- was definitely noticeable!

I was happy he got the 3A since he had mixed results with the jump this summer. I agree that his jumps are big for his height.

Is Nathan still competing at the junior level nationally as well?

Yes he mentioned that after Nationals last season that he would stay junior another season in the US because he's still little and is just becoming old enough to compete as a junior internationally. I tend to think he'll be one of the contenders to make the JW team though, considering Joshua Farris, Jason Brown, and Harrison Choate are the only senior men young enough to still be sent.

Cool. Nathan will likely continue his winning streak at Nationals.

So per his birthday (5.5.1999), he won't be old enough for senior international competition until 2014-2015.

WOW! I see a champion from the first second. Quality skating throughout. I remember saying about three years ago that all Nathan needed was power and speed which would come with size. And now still under 5 feet, he already has such speed and ice coverage!

Great carriage and positions. And beautiful extension in his very fast spins. Love his donut spin, along with Plushenko's (at his age!) and Han Yan's, no deep sea fishing with the butt sticking out a la J Brown.

Yup! Too young for Sochi so he'll be aiming for Pyeonchang in 2018. I remember commentators mentioning that when he first won Novice at age 10! He really is something special though. What drive in a kid so young, his coaches must be honored to have him as a student!!
