how he struggled on the Lutz-Toe combo in the short

Well, I guess he worked that out, didn't he?

BTW, I recently rewatched a lot of Nathan's practices at Beijing and I gotta say his consistency on the 4Lz+3T was insane. Totally badass!

Good to see another Chicagoan on here besides you, Maryg and I. And hello to Lulu too.

Another Chicago area person here! I didn't make the trek to the United Center from the boonies but heard it was a great show...Received a text from my cousin that a friend of hers entered some sweepstakes? contest? and won tickets to the show and a personal Meet & Greet with Nathan! She was thrilled! She had a great time and loves the signed poster she received.

Yay! Welcome! Thanks for sharing…what a lucky gal!!

I’m not that familiar with how Stars on Ice works but what’s the likelihood that Nathan will still do these shows if he retires? I know Mirai Nagasaki did it this year and other skaters in the past who have continued doing SOI but just wondering if everyone thinks Nathan will even if it’s just for one year. I’d love to go see him live again and maybe if I’m lucky enough- nab one of those meet and greet passes!

I'd expect Nathan to continue doing shows when possible. When he was at Yale he wasn't able to commit to the full tour, however, and only performed in select cities.

Appears Nathan may be feeling a little better and is starting to attempt harder jumps like 3A in practice:

He also seemed quite pumped up during the show.

Tai Babilonia, who attended the Anaheim show, had this to say about Nathan:

During the M&G he told a fan that his favorite element is the backflip (to nobody's surprise).

Another fan took a photo of the announcement board dedicated to Nathan at Salt Lake FSC.

The tour actually started as a pro tour LOL! Anyway, the odds are very good. Many skaters have and still do skate in it as pros and for many years at that. Also, fixed that name up in your post for you .

Thanks for the info! So happy to hear! I’ve been watching ice skating for years on and off (mainly for Michelle Kwan and Nathan) but I never really paid too much attention to anything else. I was actually confused when my friend told me I needed Peacock to watch Worlds (what happened to local channels?! Lol). Since Nathan didn’t compete, it all worked out for me!

And thanks for the correction- I need to turn off autocorrect on my phone!
