Nathan Chen

Apparently he was vomiting after practice today

How do you know?
Wow, I thought this was 'just' a cold, but now his stomach is upset too? Maybe a reaction to medication and/or jetlag?
Well, he's no stranger to having stomach issues at competition...

But this isn't that bad and it'll hopefully teach him to take it a bit more easy in the future.

Nathan's 4S is a textbook one-foot takeoff technique (timing has to be right), a beauty, unlike most others' two-foot takeoff technique.

I recall reading on the real x-monster tumblr that Nathan uses the ‘scooping’ technique for his salchow, which is more common among ladies.

The Axel Streak!! Here for a good time not a long time - lol

13/14 is still very good!!

Apparently he was vomiting after practice today

Poor baby. I wonder what happened. He did look quite tired yesterday but sounded so confident about feeling perfectly fine. The vomiting could just be due to extreme fatigue. Hopefully he wouldn't push himself to cheer for his teammates tomorrow if he's not feeling up to it -- much as I enjoy seeing him laugh and good around. :sad46::sad46:

I heard from a Japanese fan - they were very concerned about him

His mind may want to stay super busy, but his body has its limits.

Sounds like he really held back and amazed that he was able to compete with everything.

It was all over Japanese twitter that he got pretty sick. They were really really concerned.

I'm sure jumping and spinning doesn't help when you don't feel good either.

This is the Ashley Cain post I mentioned earlier, hope Nathan gets his rest because he has a super packed sched with finals and SOI.

I'm still shook he was able to do so well after coming back to Japan so quickly after worlds and then casually adding in a quad he hadn't landed in forever. That was also one of the very best 4S he's ever landed. I need two goat emotes.

Yuki mentioned his summer hair starting https://twitter.com/YukiSNYC/status/1116677086981312512

aww Nathan

He really has shown extraordinary pacing and timing this season. Even sick, bringing back 4S - craziness.

I’m not ready for the Beethoven hair again though - his jawline deserves better

In other news Nathan won the USSA Athlete of the Month award. eace:

Awesome! I was voting for both him and Alina :luv17:

I hope he gets some rest. Tomorrow he can chill and just have fun.

rewatching his FS, the 3lz at the end was really pretty

 

[oatmella]

Yay Nathan and Alina!

He really needs what rest he can get - not only sick today, but also doing schoolwork before the FS.

He doesn't even need to put his name on his laptop for people to know who it belongs to.

Lol what's the logo next to Nike?

That left just the double world champion to go, and he started well with an effortless quad toeloop into triple toeloop combination the early highlight.

But Chen all but fell on a triple Axel and the lower difficulty of his routine compared to his Saitama free skate meant it would be a close call for the winner.

And the 19-year-old's superior presentation marks saw him score 199.49 for a double triumph in Fukuoka to cap a wonderful season.

Not sure. Maybe there's a better photo somewhere?

I read more detailed tweet but I can’t find it. Before leaving the practice session, Keiji Tanaka saw Nathan was vomiting


Poor boi... I hope he rests and recover fast. It looks like he suffered from the illnesses entire season.

There was also an account of him having to lean against the wall as he left the ice, and then sitting down for awhile before eventually leaving.
