I think it will be difficult for Nathan, Mentally, to continue if he doesn't win the OGM. He's climbed the mountain twice, and he's been at this his entire life. With his degree in hand, I think he might choose to move on with his life. As a Yale Graduate, lots of doors will be open for him.
I look at that differently too. It's the opposite, IMO. If he wins gold, he's more likely to move on from skating. I mean, what more can motivate him to continue skating when he'll have pretty much won everything there is to win? There's so much potential outside of the skating world for him to go explore. On the other hand, if he doesn't win gold, he'll still have something worth coming back for. I mean, he could ultimately come back either way if he misses skating enough...but I just think he'll have extra motivation if there's actually still something left for him to try to achieve.
