fact: Nathan’s FS TES, PCS gap is 40.2 which is perhaps the largest gap ever in figure skating history.

google translate of comments about Nathan:
“Six quads Chen in an arbitrary - something incredible! Nobody ever did this! The jumps are frenzied and very beautiful. It is important that he not only jumps, but also knows how to rotate,
everything is in order with artistry. It is strange that the arbitrators underestimated his second assessment. The difference of 30 points between equipment and components is wrong. I think in America the kid should be rewarded. At least literacy. And better - write a premium.” Actually the difference is more than 30 is 40.2
from retired Chinese pair skater world champion Jian Tong (male partner of famous Chinese pair P/T) CCTV commentary of Nathan’s FS link:

“这位选手可以完成各种不同的舞蹈编排，从他脚下的弹性来讲，他做所有的步伐都是带有韧性的，包括跳跃”“我敢肯定，如果他在最后一组出场的话，可能分数还要突破””就像佟健说的，如果他最后一组上的话，五大项肯定全上9了””这是一套不可思议非常完整的一套作品”
English translation
“this skater can perform various choreo of different kinds, from the elasticity aspect of his feet, all his blade work is performed with tenacity/bounciness including his jumps””
I am very sure, if he skated in the last group, his score will be even higher””Just like Jian Tong said
if he skated in the last group, all his five components score should be above 9s” “this is an incredibly very complete/integrated performance ”

“Nathan Chen has achieved the 6-quads FS that no humanbeing has ever done, the most difficult program in human history, I’m afraid perhaps Nathan himself cannot repeat this with similar difficult as well as amazing performance in the future” “
On top of historical 6 quads difficult lay-out, actually his performance also improved, for example in this stsq, music is based on “the rite of spring“ he expressed the feeling and style of modern dance as well as contemporary dance, I can totally see his understanding and interpretation, just like this,
combined technique with performance, Nathan athlete in the future will for sure get more recognition”
Kurt Browning commentary on CBC
“
not just jumpers, just a new generation, cos there is skating, there is musicality, there is spins there is a whole program, when you can do all of that and 5 quads, pretty much all done beautifully, I am in awe of what we just saw, the olympics does provide stories of come backs and perseverance, to come back from not one bad but 2 bad short programs to skate what might be
one of the most memorable long programs in olympic history from 17th in short this is an amazing moment.”
