Great news!!!

Don’t know if this clip has been shared, 4f, 4lz, 3A

almost had a collision with someone around 0:20”.

Iirc, Nathan mentioned that minimum is 4 classes.

Doesn’t seem like he’s taking the minimum course load - he’s taking Calculus, Statistics, Psychology, and a music class.

Last semester, he took English, Math, Chemistry and Spanish. Don’t know if we are going to see another extra credit project this time

Some translation

Miki Ando talked about Nathan Chen.
“He can get a plus with not only quad jump but also five components and GOE. He has skating skills and expressive power, and I think that they are his strengths rather than jumps.”

Thanks to this Japanese fan

Practice notes
Chen: 3F, 3Lz3T, 4T3T, 4F(hand), runthru (3A, 4F(fall), 4T3T), 3A, 4Lz, 3F, 4Lz, 2F, 4Lz, 4F

 

[discode]

Dumping the flip is a good call. Especially for the SP.

 

[sheetz]

Despite the coughing and fall on the 4F it sounds like the practice is going well.

 

[oatmella]

Sounds like a very good practice overall and 4Lz seems in great shape.

Feel a bit relieved now! Good thoughts for Nathan’s health

Not sure about Raf. Just need one 4F now

I think last year’s worlds practices, his 4F wasn’t in good shape either - but it turned out ok.

and cannot forget the ‘triple loop!’ from B.ESP commentator during his second 4F, sadly that video has been deleted from youtube.

Nathan 3/20 practice link song is a caravan 3A, 4F fall, 4T-3T It is difficult to flip slightly. 4Lz jumps several times and finishes the icing completely beautifully, try the flow of "3A, 4Lz, 4T-3T" once That's why Lutz was also doing stable and beauty-free steps. I practiced 3Lz-3T, 3F-1Eu-3S and several free continuous jumps.

oatmella,you have such good memory. I remembered it now.

3F-1Eu-3S seems also to be great if google translate is trustworthy.

Nathan please rest well and eat well. don’t be too hard on yourself. 4F would behave. for Nathan’s good health.

ETA, more report about cough, 3A, and most important of all: smile. Google translate seems to have trouble to provide me something I could understand

Translation: Struggled with 4F. Tried 4Lz several times and landed all beautifully. Did another run thru with the 4Lz instead of 4F and that was clean. Also practiced the combinations multiple times.
