Nathan Chen

[yyyskate]

Overall, I think this pair of costumes (all black like again suit for divers ) is quite a stand out among all men's costumes this season, specially a direct contract to his rival Yuzuru's mostly white colored and bling sparkly dresses. but maybe it can be designed a little better.

Nathan indeed has his own idea now.
But I really don't like that shiny zipper thingy on his back. and that white strip on his SP chest. I mean the shiny part or the zipper part is not the most horrible.
but the fit of it, it seems not perfectly fitted. the zipper thingy protrudes out, not the most flattering of his chest and back at certain angles.

Maybe they could watch the videos of his new costumes and programs and make some changes/adjustment for better visual effect.

My big takeaway was that he LIKES the zipper. And he was fiddling with the wrist zippers in the KnC as well. Oh, well, I can't blame him there, they look fun.

You know every thing is about visual.

So no joke, I was at the perfect side angle to view to podium's, err, assets, and . I hadn't even noticed until then that they were a second skin.
.... On a slightly less shallow note, his carriage even standing still is is out of this world. We normally call that posture, but this goes beyond that.

So Nathan got invited to an NBA game tonight so he could meet one of his basketball idols, Stephen Curry. He's hit the big time.

That's awesome, as I'm a Warriors fan, but I thought he was a Cavillers fan?

He has a few NBA teams that he likes, I think. Utah Jazz (of course), he wore the Cavs shirt, he's gone to a Lakers game I think and now he's seeing the Warriors. I also saw him post about the Celtics once on his IG story. I think he just really loves basketball.

Yeah, Nathan likes lots of individual NBA players.

And here's his proof of meeting Curry.

Last day to vote for Team USA athlete of the month. I think Nathan is trailing because the Japanese fans didn't learn of the poll until today.

I agree with shine Nathan has sacrificed his choreography. Hope he will focus on one layout from now on so he can put more choreography back. It’s good to know he has not peaked yet. We could see him get the 3A in order, repeat two 4Lz and two 4F or 4T in a 6 Quad FS, and pay more attention to the choreography.

Would that 3Lo in the FS be a potential 4Lo? He might go for 7 quads!

yeah, the above link is a great fancam...
Nathan is really quite a bit before his stsq music and is trying to catch up during the entire stsq, and he is indeed seems conserving his energy during the entire program that including giving out many choreo and choreo stsq...
Nathan BOI...

at this point I think stamina is the KEY, no matter it is 5, 6 or 7 quads, as long as he has the stamina he can do it, but how do you get to that point? Every skater wanna has the stamina they hope for. but usually that is the most difficult to achieve.

Since Nathan Boi seems has already used the most efficient way to conserve as much as energy in this performance (just barely squeeze in the rotation).

Christian asked about 3A, Nathan gave some answer...

i just found that the darker black fabric and shining zipper on Nathan's FS costumes formed a cross on Nathan's back.

@penniavaswen
can I ask you little bit more about Vincent
I read in the practice report thread, some poster said Vincent is very very shy, but you seems imply here Vincent is more out there than Nathan.
What is exactly their personalities?

I'm at the Olympics send off event, met his mother and is creeping on his family eating the hors d'oeuvre. I can confirm the curls are natural, and his brother had them as well as glasses

ETA: hanging out with the president of the Japanese fandom, and will be trying to get some one-on-two time with him to ask the burning questions about his hair and outfits. If we can swing it, I will be mentioning the change of choreography as concerned by the fanfest.

Fun fact, his mom doesn't know where he is right now and told us we can find him we can ask whatever we want lolol

-- what is he up to know? what's the olympic send off event?? and did you meet nathan?!
