Nathan Chen

^ I was just joking

Glad RAF finally got his wish of the skaters having their own ice time away from the public. He’s been complaining about it for ages lol (rightfully)

“He has tremendous risk” in the program, Zakrajsek said. “Not too many men, even Nathan doesn’t do the quad lutz in the short. Right?! So Vincent, he has harder base (score) value than Nathan Chen because he does the lutz and sal and Nathan does the foot and toe.”


Speaking facts, nathan doesnt do quad lutz combo or sal, i dont we see it this year he prob only bring it back near the olympic season
 
A rivalry at home is not a bad thing, but they really need to take a giant step back for a second here. Saying Vincent is now a favorite for a world's medal after one good SP is raising expectations way too high on the kid struggling this season. But that's a bit off topic.

We'll see his 4S at worlds. Or Raf won't be happy. :dev2: I don't really miss the 4lz-3t? I love his 4t-3t so much.

They are calling Nathan the flagbearer for the new generation of skaters so that's why he's compared to the painting. Also mention his ballet and gymnastics training.

Vincent's SP base value is only 0.13 higher than Nathan's because Nathan backloads the combo. But what makes Nathan so formidable is that he can pick and choose his jumps depending on what's working on the day.

Yes, it feels as if Nathan has an extra gear he can use if needed. He has also modified his program to maximize his GOEs under the new system.

Yes. Everyone worried about that before the season, but he is doing really good at every thing!

At now, Nathan’s 4F at GPF is the highest scored jump in new judging system (GOE +4.40). That’s his most positive strength of this season. I’m not sure he brings back 4S. I saw some 4S in US champs practice, it was there and it looks good. But His scored at National (I know National score usually over scored than real.) is quite huge...
