Nathan Chen

[Mamamiia]

I wouldn’t read too much into specifics of that interview. It was done right after the worlds, the translation I read he was just answering a question and replied in a very general/vague way. And he himself was talking about there will be rule changes in the next two years. He stated that he would keep challenging himself, quality over quantity things like that. He also said skating skills is fundamental to the quality of the jump. If the quality of his jump is not good in practice, he would not do it in competition in the future whereas now he would try doing it in competition if the success rate is 50 percent. He did mentioned working on improving performance part ??? as well.

Sigh, that proposal which would really benefit him was rejected, the CD one, so are we going to see another CD drama next worlds?

what, CD proposal was rejected? That's stupid!

I hoping this is the case as well, Bonita. What does CD stand for?

ETA: just clued in. Really makes you wonder what kind of dinasours are running the ISU...

Wondering how big the room is and if there is enough space for all his stuff. He probably needs to bring all his boots with him given how frequent he needs new boots.

Tony some time ago jokingly apologized to him for wearing Adidas slippers. Maybe that is the reason Karen didn’t get a like from Nathan for wearing adidas

I doubt his dorm room would have that much storage space ... his boots might already take up a lot of it. Probably some of the Nikes will have to stay at home

Lots of them, many that haven't left the same office in the org for the last 20 years..

And liking pictures of hot girls in bikinis. How’s this so accurate

‘Looking at the pictures of beauty swimsuit’ can be quite exhausting

3000 Tongues
Full rubber foam extra thick padding:
• Hooks in tongue for stability, flex notches
• Full rounded top gives extra strength and less
flexibility
• Provides extra support for those requiring a
stronger, foam backed tongue

Not surprised based on how this sport hasn’t evolved much while shedding fan base. Sigh

OK, this is something only very, very, tangentially related to Nathan, but I just saw that Mirai was staring in an ice show this weekend, and noticed that one of her co-stars will be Richard Dwyer.

Now if that name sounds familiar he's the guy who skated the Singing In the Rain program with Nathan in the WIWA show 8 years ago. The man is over 80 years old and still skating! Incredible!

This is day 1 of practice so Nathan is supposed to be there. The Shibs and Kana have already uploaded pics from inside the arena.

AHH - my favorite photo of Nathan with a bowl cut

 

[oatmella]

from the Shibs instagram stories - looks like just them and like one other skater on the ice so far

Where’s Nathan ?

And wherever he is - is he is watching the Warriors-Cavs game right now
