Nathan Chen

Brilliant article about Nathan from IN Nick McCarve.

I am in tears.

What can I say.

I love our boi Nathan.
 
The interview was good. He seems happy. And loving skating! And I can feel him about not reading messages. And someone keep Olympic rings away from him at all times in the future.

Motivated, fearless and now world champion. I'm almost a little scared. :laugh:

:agree2:

This always pops up in my mind when I think of Nathan's Olympic season, "All's well that ends well".

Nick McCarvel has nominated Nathan as IN’s person of the year.

This is a good article among the recent pile of copy/paste ones. He said he didn’t read most of the msg in between the OG short and long programs so no one knows if he read them after, honestly, he does come across as someone who prefer to take care of business before returning sentimental thanks; his reply to those messages: winning FS! His very, very excited totally pumps me up for the next 4+ years✨ 🙌🏼✨ and that really love skating just sent me to the moon 😁 Thanks Nick, as you remarked “that’s hard to find among elite athletes. Even among Olympians.” He is transformational.
 
okay, a few thoughts after read all these new pages since I went to bed last night.
1, Nathan, our beloved Nathan does look very tired, he seems get more and more tired as the SOI show goes on, especially in M&G photos. I hope Nathan can rejuvenate, Nathan, seed you energy and diet cola here:love:
2, Although tired, our Boi still give out 100% and more in his show numbers, the spins are fab and I love his self added musicality into his spins, especially the music timing in the wind-down part. Back from the EDGE musical timing is getting better every show.
3, I don't know whether Nathan can write Chinese characters or not, but I know V can write his name in Chinese, V's Chinese fanclub has his autograph in Chinese.
4, Thanks @frida80 for your RC vs Words, I think we should let Nathan watch these comparison videos. So he may have an idea what costume is better in what aspect to enhance his program visual aethestics, so he can learn from it to better Costumes decision in the future. Also these comparison video may shame him into keep all his original choreo:biggrin:.
5, about the gift to Nathan, I have new ideas, beside the things I listed, we could also send Cologne (guess Japanese fans already done that) and hair gel:biggrin: and maybe black hair dye and black sesame
6, i will post more about Nick's IN article.
 
haha, just read this on Romain's FF about his french post Oly tour :

"His quad T looked great (He failed on one of his 3A and Philippe Candeloro made him redo it after the end of his program) and I also had no idea he had a cantilever... I hope he gets a GP assignment next year ! "
 
He did look very tired in M&G pictures yesterday. Though still landed a flawless 4T and gave his all. But I can imagine it's a bit tiring to meet people and having to smile and pose after just performing. Though everyone says he's very sweet.
 
just wanna throw out there,

when Yuna Queen was still competition, she is also very generous in terms of autographs and photo with fans just like Nathan (sometimes, even go out of her way, just that she does not show up that often). And Yuna is also always the same facial expression in all her fan photos just like Nathan. And in group photos, Yuna is always stand on the side just like Nathan.

It is great to discover the shared traits between my favs.:yes::biggrin::luv17:
 
I'm still jealous of those people who got to meet Nathan at a Wal-Mart in Arkansas. Wal-Mart doesn't have a great reputation (reminds me of that website People of Wal-Mart with all the trashy photos), but if they want to support skating, I'm all for that! Imagine getting to talk to Nathan almost one on one....
 
Tired and exhausted Nathan honestly just looked DONE in the m&g photos that I saw from yesterday

but still trying his best to smize😔

yyyskate - BLACK HAIR DYE😂. And Wei巍 isn’t that easy to write so I can’t blame him if he can’t write it lol

For sure V beats N in knowledge of Chinese

Smize is hard my friend, sure it took more energy than a regular smile. is not that you need a lesson or some to achieve the perfect Smize. :biggrin:Nathan is really working hard for him fans.
 
I understand and love the major fangirling going on in here but feel with my pro position, maybe I don’t belong here. :ohwell:
 
I definitely see shared personality traits and they are both introverts (no formal disagnosis intended here!)

I think their practiced smize helps them to feel more comfortable among so many fans and it’s almost like an invisible shield.

Did Yuna have ‘security blankies’ like Nathan?😊

Both introvert:agree::yes:

you know what Yuna fans used to describe her fan photos or group photos, "she looks like a cardboard person"

And I just saw one comment on one of Nathan's fan photo, that thought Nathan is a cardboard Nathan:biggrin::biggrin:

Yuna's outfit is just mostly team jacket and ALL BLACK training garb. this is another similarity to Nathan. Yuna's fav color is BLACK. I think NIKE and cola also sponsored Yuna but that was way back. my memory is vague.

Also, Yuna describe herself as tiger (or some kinda big cat like cheetah, leopard, puma etc.). I think Nathan's fan also likes to describe him as some kinda big cat (tiger etc.) and Nathan surly adores his soohorang, isn't he, and besides the on-ice persona, they both love puppies, there are many with puppy photos, but who does not love puppy.

Say "Hi" to Nathan's Korean fans who are lurking here:luv17::love:
 
I understand and love the major fangirling going on in here but feel with my pro position, maybe I don’t belong here. :ohwell:

NO, I always enjoy reading your posts!!! Very informational/educational, calm, and sometimes keep some "crazy" guessing here in check. It is really sad to read that you have this feeling. Please stay!!!
 
aww💕 - definitely cardboard Nathan now I think it’s just another way he’s guarded

They both look so nice in their all black training gear

And yes - Nathan making sure soohorang is sitting up correctly - true Plushie lover😍😍 - and I wasn’t kidding when I said I would bring 100 plushies for Nathan if I have the opportunity to see him at competition
 
I understand and love the major fangirling going on in here but feel with my pro position, maybe I don’t belong here. :ohwell:

I hope you stay, or at least drop by sometimes. Your posts are great and interesting. Honestly, there's not much going on right now so there's not much of anything to discuss, even if we find a way. :laugh: Later on in the year when rumors/info came out about music, choreography and other things in the new season it'll be less fangirling talk about how he smiles (or his hair lol) and more about his skating and career going forward.

Though I also wouldn't mind now talking more about his skating and what we want to see in the future, instead of other fangirling things.
 
@Ic3Rabbit
your posts are sincerely appreciated there.

We need diversities in Nathan's FF

acctually, I has quoted you and waiting for your "pro" opinion regarding how you think Shae helped with Nathan's SS more than Marina. please share some insights.

Nathan's FF really moves very fast nowadays. something get buried quickly, but i think every true Nathan fan will try their best to read everything, and your posts will definitely be seen and appreciated.

Please STAY! I enjoy reading the fangirl posts but I appreciate your insights even more! It’s the diversity of the posts that will keep this FF thriving. Please STAY!

True, the one on one is priceless where no one is there to rush you and you can chat away.
