He is phenomenal!! 5/6 quads clean. Ashdkdlsnndsna
the difference is Nathan just started!
From the interview, Nathan sounded really overall fulfilled. I am glad it ended up like this. He will soon be busy with his new college life and improve his skating according to whatever new rule ISU is gonna pull out next 4 years. And forget about any nagging negativity, if there is any from this OG event.
but it is still a little uncertain whether he will continue for next 4 years for sure though, he said "take it day-by-day"
he did not even mention whether will he go to worlds or not, yet Vincent is very committed to that.
Nathan's fans world wide, are all inspired by you tonight and sincerely wish you can skate for another 4 years.

incredible. I didn't think he would be the highest placing American after his short program, but he did it.
I watched his free program on NBC, and then they showed skiing for 1 hour? 2 hours? What a surprise I had when NBC tuned back into skating. Adam just finished skating, and Nathan was still in first! He held onto his 1st place position until the final flight of skaters too. That was a monster score for his free skate.

Much applause for Nathan! :yay:
I'm really happy that he was able to look at the 'bright' (?) side of being so low in the standings and rather than implode again use it to throw down!
I hope he'll continue to skate super well and be able to block out the media (although as I understand the media was actually following him around, which makes it nearly impossible), 'cause he's got the talent!

Nathan is leaving with a team medal and a winning free program. 
If expectations had been set right this would be a wonderful result! I'm very proud. Hopefully Nathan can relax at Worlds and deliver two wonderful programs.
What I most want for him is a chance to practice and work on his craft in peace and quiet. Just take your time and grow Nathan. Don't try to please us crazy fans in the U.S. and abroad. :dev2:

Nathan, that was absolutely incredible!! In the free, you beat the likes of Hanyu, Chan, Uno, Fernandez, Jin, Kolyada, and Aliev all at the same time! While it wasn't enough to medal, that was a redemption skate for sure. In fact, it's the highest free skate of the year! and about 5pts off the best ever!
Watch it on the NBC sports app. They show ALL the skaters with very few commercials and no Tara and Johnny

I called it I said fifth and he passed Aliev and chan and all. Good for Nathan and his lines aredecent the program was a jump festbut c'est la vie. But what was it with Zhou and him. They were rather chilly in the "oh please let me stay on the podium seats".

I just thought that they were both exhausted and chilling.

What an amazing feat, and what I really like about Nathan is his warrior mentality. Very, very impressive!
Sadly the broadcasting of figure skating is bad to put it mildly (seemingly any and every other sport gets precedence - even when it says figure skating in the schedule), we only got the last group, so I missed seeing Nathan's skate. But when my husband pointed out the TES of the leader - 127+, and it really sank in, my jaw dropped. I realised it had to have been Nathan...
Do they give out small medals in the Olympics? Because if so, Nathan did get a small gold medal out of this - which would be well deserved.
