Nathan Chen

Oh boy. Three falls!

Where do you find it?

I guess the long distance coaching situation might not be working out so well

I thought I read somewhere that Marie-France will be quite busy with the Thank You Canada your as well

um is he planning to go for 6 quads - 4lo and 4F as well?

After not competing for a long time your mind forgets to get in that zone. I believe the jumps are still there. He just needs time to get back into competition mode.

Yes looks like it.

Oh course. This is Nathan, we’re talking about.

I think this disaster may make me change things slightly. Keep it simple until he can build is stamina again.

I get the feeling we’re going to have a long passionate interview from Raf after this.

Judging by the layout I suspect this means he wants to eventually go for 6 quads and 1 3A.

Lol

 

[oatmella]

Yeah I assume he still has his jumps - going from the (limited) practice clips and he landed perfect 4 loop ...

Hmmm... it looks like Nathan quite dissapointed to himself

My poor baby.

It's also a good pre SA practice so he wanted to test his competition layout.

 

[Hollymolly]

I know he can handle all 6 quads and 3A, but it makes me so worried..

That’s true.

I wish he had a full Challenger series to compete in. If only he didn’t have a show at the same time as Asian Open, he could’ve gone.

Yeap i think so too.

 

[oatmella]

Jetlag and being tired could be a big factor here.

Hope he is in better condition in 2 weeks!

I am more concerned that he won't be able to balance quads and choreo again...

 

[alexaa]

That’s true.

With all the Rule changes and everything, I really wish he could go to one early CS event since he wouldn’t have lots of time to work with Raf. Oh well, at least he would have 2 weeks to work on the FP. We still have no idea about the SP.

He might rethink if he is going to put that many quads, I haven’t seen any talk about the 4f yet.
