Once again, Nathan Chen and Yuzuru Hanyu ends their practice session bowing together. Chen goes quickly and claps for Hanyu and lets him have the ovation from the home crowd

Seems to be a good practice session

This observation from Jackie

“Great upper body and core control (link: http://bit.ly/2ucYAYt) bit.ly/2ucYAYt #WorldFigure So much love watching both Yuzuru Hanyu and Nathan Chen just going through jump entrance motions at the same time;”

Those not my favorite,but..... replies though

I don’t know why specific figure skating fans think that they have to tear apart a skater to lift their favorites up? Saying things like “Hard to like this guy (Nathan) when facts face you in face that his scores are always inflated...” like Nathan has anything to do with his scores aside from skating clean? What is he going to do complain to judges about giving him good scores they (the judges) believe he deserves? It’s so very rude and tactless. Nathan has never been anything but a class act, but yet they vilify him. Good luck to Nathan, Yuzuru, Shoma, and all the other skaters tonight. I wish they all have wonderful clean skates.

Both Nathan and Yuzu are gracious competitors - fans should follow their example

Possible abs sighting?https://twitter.com/naoyou_na/status/1109274757738823681
Translation says, 'Is it possible to change it in the real thing? I can see the belly again in the spin.'

I'd guess he addressed the costume issue from nationals.

And some people really can't say something nice, but just have to talk anyway? Just don't reply to a tweet if you feel the need to add something negative to it. I don't get it.

Anyway, good luck Nathan.
