Even though it's Worlds it still feels more like a tune up event with the Olympics coming up so soon. Truthfully, it might not hurt to actually lose once in awhile to take away some of the pressure. That said, we all know how much he hates to lose, and if he goes for the 6 quads he controls his own destiny.

Nathan skates better vs Yuzu than he does against other people the last couple years. I don't know, I think he'll do fine. Of course I worry, but I always worry.I need to learn how to relax, apparently.it's the first competition I'll follow as a Nathan fan and I'm scared. seems like it's yuzurus to take, given their respective performances at nationals
Nathan is in TeamToyota IGS again

Sandra didn’t hesitate or even think for a second before she said Nathan‘s name. She is so on the same page with Kurt about Natha’s potential to become an extraordinary performer
I really wish there will be some further collaborations with Sandra. Both the two programs she did for Chen Lu using traditional Chinese music are master pieces.

Apparently because Nathan himself said it (Hallelujah). Nick commented that on Dsntedge's latest insta post.Even Nick McCarvel started his article with haircut
Really hoping everyone can stay safe
Not that I expected anything else from him, but his planned jump layouts are (still) killing me... 
Also not sure about the mental health part, after seeing him at Nats and comparing to the last two seasons... hopefully he'll succeed at a better mindset when he steps onto the ice for his programs at Worlds.

I really love the casual side hits at his haircut. "The mop-topped skater with a haircut on his to-do list"

@Mamamiia While enjoying some older videos of Nathan, I rewatched your Sun Valley recording of his La Boheme practice out in the sun. The way he moves looks so beautiful and effortlessly elegant! 
His speed and the way he's floating across the ice, stunning! Thank you so much again for capturing it, and with such high video quality at that!
(also still voting for him to put on his casual practice attire for competition instead of a costume,
still think he looks the best in those clothes)
Makes me so sad that we didn't get to see him skate his current programs in their raw form during last summer, in a carefree, relaxed setting such as Sun Valley practice usually is for him. And who knows what's going to happen this upcoming summer...

I especially love those first Land of All outings from that summer, I really enjoyed that first shortened version of it and the way he skated it at Sun Valley.

I'm guessing there is money along with bonuses for medaling at major events like Worlds/Olympics. Even though he is retired I'm sure Michael Phelps is not on Team Panasonic for the free headphones.
