Looks like Nathan's the only champion without a white card

Sui held the white card for Nathan. She is really nice to Nathan.:luv17:

Ishikawa-san, the TV mascot for the Ishikawa prefecture (where SOI is currently showing) that many people believe closely resembles Nathan.

There's even a popular hashtag #ネイサンではない ("Not Nathan")

The Ishikawa-san/Not Nathan tag is too cute.

Nice write up about worlds from a Japanese fs fan https://ae-tica.com/2019/03/28/wf2019-2e/

It's so nice the audience tried to encourage Nathan before he skated. :luv17:

That Nathan-face doll looks a bit scary! lol at the Not Nathan hashtag.

Nathan was given a tiara, but apparently has not worn it yet:

He flew here for the weekend just to join us. He talked to everyone, signed everything, posed for every photo. A true gentleman and Champion. Absolutely inspiring. Thank you, @nathanwchen for your time and attention.

If I were Nathan, I'd be so tempted to post a selfie on IG, wearing the tiara, titled 'GOAT'.
(wearing some type of mantle also wouldn't hurt)

Well, some fans are thinking about tossing Ishikawa-san dolls onto the rink at WTT, but they could toss stuffed goats. LOL

Madison Hubbell said she's already traveling to Japan for WTT today. Wonder if Nathan will leave today, too.

And a reminder to vote for Nathan. He's in no danger of losing the fan vote but he's down to 44%.

He's also up for March Athlete of the Month on the USSA ballot, but I don't think anyone really cares about that one.

And there was that banner at Nationals calling him out on not wearing their flower crown at a previous competition. Nathan only needs his curls though - no tiara or crown

Aww, the poor kid. How dare he to not wear it lol. Can you imagine Nathan packing for US Nats, going through his luggage like "Gotta make sure and remember to bring the flower crown, in case the gift givers will attend..."?

I only say yes to a tango program, if it's done with a modern or creative twist, and more subtle. Not if it's a rehash of stereotypical, run-of-the-mill tango. :noshake:
