No idea, the footer links about voting process and awards are all bad links. And I think fan vote only accounts for 50%. Regardless, I voted like 100+ times lol

Yay, Nathan IG story update. He just finished a bag of my favorite snack:luv17:. I remembered seeing Eunsoo and Marin eating that before, not sure theirs is a much bigger packaging, like those from Costco. Maybe it is teamRaf snack.

Not clean, Yuzuru got 2 ur calls for the free. Shoma unfortunately had 2 falls in his free, otherwise he would have broken Nathan’s record there. Plus the ice condition was not that good in Helsinki.
Nathan should be fine with his SkAm water down layout for IdF, but if he wants to win GPF, he needs at least one more quad.
Back to the TeamUSA voting, who would have thought it is this neck to neck!
much tighter than some senate race. My eyes can not handle those traffic lights, bicycles, cars, buses, crosswalks anymore.

Can’t wait to see Nathan competing again during thanksgiving! :luv17:
It’s almost funny to think that at this point, Nathan’s 3 quad FS, is ahead of Shoma’s 4 quad FS and only less than 2 points behind Yuzuru’s cleanish 4 quad FS. Who would have thought...

Kettle corn! I recall Eunsoo and Marin eating that snack at the beach. They sell giant bags at Costco
I voted like 200x at least- hope Nathan wins!
Haha, sweet and salty flavor, sometimes buy one get one free with promotion at Costco. He must be really hungry to finish a whole bag.
Just voted again to check the numbers, finally Nathan has 1 points lead now.
And funny that in spite of her tweet Madi and Zach are probably gonna ride Nathan's coattails to victory.

Please do not insult Madi/Zach. :ddevil:
If they win, I do not think it is fair to assume that they were riding Nathan's coattails.
I for one would have made a point of voting for Madi/Zach even if they were on the ballot for a different month from Nathan. And I do not think I am alone.
No insult at all. I know for fact that MANY of Nathan's fans are voting for them as well. And they have a HUGE lead. It's actually kind of unfair that figure skaters have a such a large international fan base. But such is life.

Nathan is lucky to get a boost from fans who are voting for Madi/Zach -- and who are required to vote for someone in the Male category as well.
Yes, that's true too.
I do think Madi and Zach would win without Nathan. But I think what sheets means is that because of this neck to neck battle with the archery kid, lots of lots of Nathan fans participated in the voting, especially the Japanese fans and Korean fans, which can be seen from the 6 and 7 points lead every morning. And Nathan fans would vote Zach and Madi since they are SOI family as well as MTL family, which might contributed to their win by huge margin.

I do too. :agree:
And if true (we'll never know for sure one way or the other), it would mean that they did *not* "ride Nathan's coattails to victory." That's my final comment on this unfortunate topic.
... This is only 50% of the voting.
Yes, 50% of determination of the winner.

A Japanese fan from Yale writes that Nathan's mother is also at New Haven. She attends his practices.
https://mobile.twitter.com/KayokoShioda/status/1059821670154846208?s=19
Then Nathan's JP fanclub answers his mother is like a "second coach" to him? (sorry I use Google to translate ��
I'm very sad because Nathan failed his Olympics SP with "precious" advices of his mother...
:sad21:
A few skaters are successfully coached by their parents. but this is obviously not such case.
I just want him to go back to Raf ahsjasdfhdj

But also Olympics FS was a advice of his mother... Now Raf can’t be in Yale to coach Nathan, so i think it can help Nathan to handle Yale and figureskating. And looks like just once a week or more less. I just hope he can keep the balance between Raf and his mother.
You can see there was someone sitting at the boards observing him on one of the fan videos.

It's not ideal but I agree that Mom is probably better than nothing, if only just to keep him company.

Yeap. Not ideal, but Better.
I was wondering who that person was when I watched video.
At least mom could help record his movements to send it to Raf for consultations. I was kinda worried who is going to record the video for him. And he really needs extra set of eyes when he practices. I actually feel much better to know mom is there. Both Nathan and mom are very intelligent, they would not make the same mistake twice.
sheetz, would you mind translating that thread? From Google translate, there seems to be 2 persons there？
