[snowflake]

Can't express how impressed I am...... how can he be so cool at his first international senior championships

 

[sweetnothinggs]

I swear, if I were still 17 I would have a serious crush on Nathan.

well said

Nathan Chen (USA)
Le Corsaire
In black lace top with solid black shoulders and black pants

4Lz-3T - great height on the Lutz
4F (<?)
CCSp
3A barely hangs on
FSSp
StSq
CCoSp
He stumbles out of his finish position - a snarky timekeeper would still be timing...

I still think someone with his injury history is insane to do a layout like this, but he's hitting it, which I guess is all that matters. Astonishing height on that first quad.

At least one of the Chen wasn't disappointing.

About the end mistake......will that be considered after the program or does anyone here reckon judges will pick on that?

 

[OS]

All that and he stumbles out of his final pose

Okay - 0.1 pcs in performance heh.. sky high score?

I liked this SP of Nathan's since I first saw it, especially the step sequence, so to see it skated with more confidence and attention to detail just made my day. He's going to get a monster score for this.. and he deserves it. I don't like his long program, but this short program shows his potential far more than the free does. Awesome.

 

[breadstal]

Like you have to be impressed by that, this short program felt like minute for me.

 

[nolangoh]

I knew that the ladies messing yesterday implies something...good for the men!

 

[frida80]

Say what you will about Nathan, but it's nice to have this type of balletic program this season.

Go Slaythan!

Thanks! I felt like I was the only one that appreciated balletic style programs in men's!

 

[breadstal]

LOL Rafael and that bottle.

 

[GGFan]

I can't lie: it feels so good to have a contender again!!

 

[OS]

Rafael only smiles when Nathen is around

Holy molly.... Hanyu, Patrick... shudder

 

[sweetnothinggs]

[BrazilianFan]

[euroskate]

Wow perfect jumps AND Spins
Excellent Interpretation and very good skating skills
For me room for development in personality and performance. This is next super star because he has it all

 

[frida80]

I TOLD YOU! If he was clean he would get 103! I was right! 98 my butt!

 

[WeakAnkles]

Zoueva is doing wonders with Nathan's presentation.

Egads, the talent there (not to mention the continued potential!) is staggering. Imagine what another year of experience is going to bring. Wowza.
