Nathan Chen

I wanna recommend Matthew Savoie 2006 Nationals Long Program to Nathan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNUstIInouo
not only he is a skaters's skater and student's student
but also how his costumed is designed.
Nathan's Mao' last dancer FS could use some of his costume design ideas. especially the sleeve design (half length) here, this type of design can showcase Nathan's gentle, fluid, arm, wrist and finger movement (which is one thing so special about Nathan's skating), look at how it show-off Matthew Savoie's arm movement and I would perhaps add a little tearing/ragged or worn out pattern to the end of the sleeves (and this can be done in a Modern and Minimalism way as well), it will be even more floating and match to the theme - Mao's last dancer.

Many feedback of Nathan's body suit costumed by Vera Wang is that, it indeed showed Nathan's lines really well on ice. but it does also hide some of Nathan's unique and essential figure skating qualities, some fans are especially felt pity that some of the most emotional invoking movement (like those gentle, fluid arm choreo in Mao's last Dancer) is not as effective in Vera Wang's suit as before.
 
Russian junior girl Alexandra TRUSOVA just did 2 quads + 3 triple triple in her all clean all level 4 free program in junior world. Won the field by 20 points. (reminds me of Yuna's 2010 OG and 2013 WC wins)
That is how you slay the competition, that is how you dominate.
And her TES PCS gap is 31, so Nathan still holds the largest TES PCS gap record 40.2

But that is how you slay a competition. heads up to #slaythan

I hope this lovely post of Nathan's OG FS can be kept forever.

Great! thanks yyyskate :agree:

I agree with the author in almost everything, it was like a roller coaster, beautiful and painful at the same time :hopelessness:

I love the photo of the Chenz :love: , and I wonder if Nathan will have time to go to the prom (he with so many pending presentations I see it very difficult)

PS: I really am one of those who hold their breath every time Nathan goes for the 3 axel and I suffer from tachycardia when he lands his quads :laugh:
 
There is still no way to watch Nathan's FS on youtube. All other great OG figure skating performances have already been uploaded to olympic channel, but still no Nathan's FS, his FS is the olympic record FS and historical 6 quads.. I feel soooo sad about that. Further all other videos of Nathan's OG FS including fancams are blocked by IOC....

Maybe we should start a petition...

not for me, I downloaded all Nathan's OG programs of all versions in my computer already. As a devoted fan, we always have ways to watch our fav skater's performances.

I am mostly sad about the exposure of Nathan's FS to the general public. His historical OG FS deserved to be viewed by more audience...
That is pretty sad.

EDIT: Nathan's historical FS is buried on NBC web figure skating videos, also in the Olympic channel app, his FS also does not have a separate video..
Nathan's first OG effort deserves much better. fee sad for him.
 
I also hope that he goes back to wearing the 'simple yet elegantly cool black shirt' (great description!). I like that outfit so much more than the skeleton suit from Nationals, the other black Vera Wang suit that he wore for the Team SP, and the one-light-sleeve outfit. Hoping for a great SP and clean skates at Worlds!
lol at the Patrick commentary. Love how Nathan performed Nemesis at Skate America - so cool, confident, and with (as Johnny would say) swagger.

Yeah, I didn't like any of the outfits worn at OG. I miss seeing the fabric of his sleeves and shirt fluttering in the wind in "Mao's Last Dancer", as he sweeps across the ice, especially during the step sequences and flying camels. It adds so much to the ambience and emotional flow of the music.

Usually, Olympic videos are uploaded at youtube after 2 years.(or more.)
I’m so sad about that too :(
 
I uploaded Nathan's 2018 OG FS, NBCHD, CBCHD and NHK no commentary onto my google drive
here is my link to download.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ejXK0bgqSrKG6Hmek7UliF3X4AJUd-wz

I have an idea that is to edit a perfect camera angle version of Nathan's 2018 OG FS using NBC cam angle, CBC cam angle(all other cam versions except for NBC using the same cam angle as CBC) and NHK sound track without commentary. But I don't have time to learn editing and do it now.

Maybe some talented Nathan fans can use the videos that I provided here to make this idea come true.:love:

Thank you very much for your link. But do you happen to have Nathan's FS with Japanese commentary?
I don't understand Japanese, but I enjoy their tone of excitement when Nathan lands a quad.:p
I also find that Japanese commentators truly appreciate Nathan's quads and his artistry.

thanks, I am downloading it very slowly right now. but I already have a version that has NBC cam but using no commentary NHK sound track from another fellow Nathan's Free program fan.
I just watched it again.

This program will forever have a very very special place deep in my heart and it is performed by Nathan (Boi):biggrin:.
 
The link provided by that Korean Nathan fan still works, I just downloaded the video, it is 1G, but it is super HD. great to appreciate Nathan's face expression in this performance, and every frame is a beautiful picture.:luv17:
 
one Nathan fan edited Nathan's OG FS NBC, CBC version into no commentary and uploaded into google drive.
