When you're been named Quad King, it takes away the excitement of a practice jump. We save that excitement for him putting in the program.

In an eight jumping pass program, the only triple in his program could be 3A.... except for the back end of combinations.
4Z/3T, 4F, 4T, 4T/2T, 4S, 4S/2L, 4L, 3A
Note: This is a fantasy jump layout... just for fun... but he COULD be technically capable of doing it. Insane. I don't think I zayaked anything, but it's so crazy to even consider.
The base value for such a program, assuming L4 spins and footwork, would be a zillion. If he could change one of those back-end-double combos to a 1L/3F it would be a trazillion.

Altogether the max allowed is 12 jumps total with one 3-jump combo. So theoretically he could have a layout like
4Z3T, 4F, 4Lo, 4T2T / 4Z, 4S, 4T, 3A1Lo3F.

I googled Nathan Chen and found some interesting photos when he was a kid, especially those gymnastic and ballet dance photos. Nathan is such a treasure!

Nathan Chen: 4 Fast Facts You Need to Know
Not much most people didn't already know. However Nathan does confirm his intention to go to college after the Olympics. Not sure how that'll work out as in the past he's said he wants to attend Harvard. Ideally he would go somewhere in the LA area to stay with Raf but there's also University of Michigan which is very close to Canton.

This is kind of cool. One of the animators who worked on Yuri on Ice by the name of Junpei Tatenaka is a fan and made this animation/banner in support.

Apparently in Nathan's teleconference today he was talking about how he's been having some boot problems. :sad21: I remember he talked about having some before 4cc's as well so I hope they won't affect him too much. I haven't heard the rest of the teleconference so I don't know what exactly he said about them - looking forward to listening when IN puts it up to hear more about them.
Now the other Chen is having boot problems!

I though boots would be a problem when he posted that he was getting new ones after 4CC.

I had the same thought, unfortunately.
Somebody who went to see Raf's camp train the other day said he had his boots all duct taped.I had the same thought, unfortunately.

Clear packing tape is the way to go.

I don't know if I can handle this. Why Nathan, why now?
Jason Brown posted an old photo with Nathan on twitter.

I might be the only one thinking this way, but whenever I watch Nathan, I see Dick Button from him. Nathan's aspiration to attend Harvard looks to me he wants to follow Uncle Dick's foot steps.
In addition, I can hear Survivors' "Eye of the Tiger" in my head whenever he appears on the ice. He has eyes of a king whose hunger never ceases him to conquer the unknown.

The article says Nathan would like to attend UC Irvine, which is close to home. That's a good idea if he plans on staying with Raf thru 2022. He can always go to Harvard for grad school.
