Nathan Chen

Were you competing at Nathan’s level? And how was the outcome of training full time and doing a full course load?

Yes, I am a former elite skater (Senior/International), and training full time and doing a full course load at a top University takes its toll but I'm sure that Nathan can do it. ;)

Yes I believe you. I am optimistic here too! All Nathan needs to do is to stay healthy! :pray:

i haven't seen anything about whether nathan mastered the squad final pose without proposing to shoma again :)


I too hope Nathan can stay healthy :pray:
 
Thank you for offering some peace of mind. Do you know Selena Zhao? Did she give up skating before going to Harvard or after? Ice Coverage posted her writing about her skating and life at Harvard a week or 2 ago. She was in that website yyyskate posted about night with Champions.

I hope Nathan could skate at Whale when weather is not good.

Here is her article

You're welcome! I don't know her personally though she trained in my current base right around the time I got there. I hope she is doing well at Harvard, I'll have to check your link out.

You were not asking me, but my two cents, FWIW: IIRC/AFAIK, at the time of her admission to Harvard, Selena was undecided as to whether she wanted to continue her competitive career? I believe that after enrolling at Harvard, she ended up not competing again.
 
She no longer competes since she is at Harvard and she is content with that. I wish her well.

Thank you for your reply, and also the article link. It was such a well written article. I was kinda worried if she gave up skating due to difficulty to manage both Harvard and skating when I read the article. I am sure she will be doing well, just like Christina.

Thank you and Ic3rabbit again for making my weekend less worried, if not totally worry free :biggrin:. I should not complain anyway with so much Nathan content theses two weekends.
 
bonita, I hope that you will not misunderstand my reply about Selena.

And I hope it goes without saying that I am (and always have been) 1000000% supportive of Selena's decisions about her own life/education/skating.
You seemed to be interested in a timeline as to when Selena stopped competing (and decided to stop competing), and I replied accordingly.

It seemed to me that you brought up the question about Selena and Harvard in Nathan's thread because Nathan is planning to juggle an Ivy education with his competitive career. (And lest anyone wonder, I also am 1000000% supportive of Nathan's decisions about his own life/education/skating.)
As we know, other elite skaters -- e.g., Christina Gao, Emily Hughes -- have chosen to juggle Ivy studies with their competitive careers.

Nothing wrong with Selena's path … and nothing wrong with Nathan's path either.
 
:laugh2: :rofl: Ok, these guys looked like they were having WAY too much fun! How I would have loved to have been there. Thx :thank: for all the stuff you posted of the amazing trio! Can't wait to see lengthier versions of everything they did! And it didn't look fake -- it really looked like they were having fun.

Sheetz and Arriba627, is this what the pat the head thing? Google translate is confusing.

New FS pictures??At least the third one

And seems like Nathan did well for his 3A and Masaru dance today
 
Nathan did the head pat again for the 3rd show. However, I believe this time it was because Shoma fell on his 3A.

Thanks, sheetz and Hollymolly.

What am I reading? report or fan fiction? lol

Shoma got his hair ruffled by Nathan during their group number with Boyang and then at the finale too, Nathan suddenly appeared next to Shoma and they held hands for the final bows,
 
linked wrong video at first. THANKS SHEETZ!!

Hi guys, I read this fan fest (really like Nathan) but I'm not super active here, you have a great place to find info and updates on Nathan.

Alina did an Instagram live and at the end we can see Nathan, Aliev and (hear) Mariah Bell. Thought you guys would like to see it because Nathan talks a lot, it's pretty funny to see him talking about Ralph with Mariah.

Corrected the link, thanks sheetz!!!
