Nathan Chen

Interesting change on Nathan's homepage. Nike is now the only sponsor listed. Earlier this month Bridgestone, Coke, and Kellogg's were all still there.

I noticed that awhile ago - maybe around Nationals. Surely he will get more sponsors heading towards the Olympics.

Maybe he is renegotiating his endorsements with them, or they were just for the Olympic calendar year?

They were at least still there on the snapshots from earlier this month on web.archive.org. And he's still in the Skating Magazine Bridgestone ads, too.

Awwwwww he was so cute!

Confession: Nathan is one of the reasons why I don't watch juniors or novices. I started watching his performances as a novice and to this day I'm extra invested in his career because of it. (Sui/Han are the other skaters I've been watching forever)

I like having a little bit of distance from my figure skaters. I follow several other sports and I have to minimize my disappointments. Nathan stole my heart as a child and thank goodness everything turned out ok, but moments like the Olympics were that much more painful because of the investment.

Hmm - I don’t know then ... thought I had noticed they weren’t there anymore. But I have been quite sleep deprived since last week at least

It is extra special to have been following him for so many years!

I didn’t discover Nathan until 2017 Nationals - and then finding so many of his past programs on youtube was really a gift:luv17:

The Olympics were painful at the time but his experience there turned out to be one of the best things that has happened to him.

A Nathan Chen Three-peat? Will Alysa Liu Compete Internationally? 10 Figure Skating Storylines For Next Season: https://www.teamusa.org/News/2019/March/26/10-Figure-Skating-Storylines-For-Next-Season

It was eye-popping enough to watch Chen, 19, repeat as world champ, but he also did so over rival Yuzuru Hanyu, while skating in Hanyu-mad Japan and having to follow Hanyu’s roof-blasting free skate just prior to him. The Yale freshman did all that to cap an undefeated season, which also included a third national title and three more grand prix golds.

“I don’t even know what the plan is going for next season,” Chen admitted to reporters after his win in Saitama.

In the year after the Olympics, Chen has impressed with his schedule at school in New Haven, Connecticut, while getting video coaching from Rafael Arutunian via video conferencing several times a week. But will he continue with the same routine in the season(s) to come? Guess we (and he!) will find out.

Regarding the sponsors: There are always more in the Olympic season and year leading up to it.

 

[Mamamiia]

I think it's common that companies do their marketing budgeting and media planning yearly? It makes sense for them to reallocate budget to prepare for summer Olympics now.
