Nathan Chen

I think Nathan may have a few conversations with Kurt Browning, really a figure skating senior/expert that I personally respect dearly, genuinely passionate about figure skating, extremely intelligent yet humble and truly appreciates every figure skating talent especially Nathan, Kurt Browning really loves Nathan and his talents.
just listen to his commentary about Nathan, so heart felt. The best commentary about Nathan ever. And he already invited the conversation.
Nathan needs some heart-felt conversation with figure skating expert like Kurt Browning to ignite his love/passion of figure skating again.
 
Kurt is awesome. Does he coach too?

As far as I known, Kurt only occasionally does show programs for skaters.

but while have conversation with Kurt, they may discuss Nathan's specific case and give him great suggestion as for who will be a good coach fit for him and what would be a good plan.

I trust Kurt Browning.
 
Kurt Browning absolutely admires Nathan!
Just watch CBC coverage, and you will see that.

If Nathan asks, that may get Kurt intrigued and interested in this.
If Kurt is to coach, taking on a student like Nathan must be super exciting.

Kurt Browning already invited a conversation with Nathan on twitter, just do not know if Nathan is aware of that.
 
I love Kurt but if he hasn't coached before, I would be reluctant. Prefer Nathan to train with something with a proven record of OM gold.
 
Yuna was one of Orser's first students...

True. But Orser already had a private ice rink at disposal and a team with DW and TW and other specialist already set up. Realistically, Kurt has none of these. However, Kurt makes enjoyable EX programs (Yuzuru "Hello I love you", Javier "Aerobics") I wouldn't mind him making one for Nathan (he doesn't do competitive choreo because he comments on TV).
 
Question is: would Nathan make Kurt feel so intrigued that he becomes a full-time coach like Brian?

That would be super interesting, and exciting.

If Kurt is willing to, he will make things happen.

Kurt did not win an Olympic gold medal, just like Brian.
Nathan might help Kurt fulfill his dream... That would be totally awesome!
 
I wouldn't expect Kurt to coach, but just an advisor would be nice. I was so intrigued to hear him say he could help Nathan move forward. Of all the great retired skaters I feel he has the most in common with Nathan.

Before the Olympics, I had heard Kurt praise Nathan's skating during CBC coverage.
It was clear to me that Kurt admires Nathan.

During Nathan's LP, Kurt said that Nathan was in a similar situation as himself at the Olympics.
He said at that time, people said that he was skating for pride, not for prize.
Same applied to Nathan.

He must find further connections with Nathan during the Olympics because they have gone through the same experience.

I would absolutely love to see Kurt coaching Nathan.
It is almost like Lendl coaching Andy Murray.
 
It seems like kind of a stretch to think that Kurt would coach Nathan, considering he is not currently a coach.
I wonder how Nathan/Nathan’s family feels about Raf’s interview and if that would at all affect whether to continue with him.

I doubt they’ll hear anything about it. It’s not the first time Raf has complained about Nathan to a Russian interviewer.
 
If Nathan is as sick as the interview says, I wonder how he could participate in the gala...

I'm hearing reports that neither he nor Javier showed up for rehearsal. But according to Nathan's IG he's still in Korea so it could be that he wants to take a couple of extra days off.
 
Now, if Nathan wants to do something symbolic for himself it could be meaningful for him to take out of the ashes his "Dream on" exhibition of some season ago. I think it could really fit into the narrative at this point.
