Nathan Chen

[shine]

I’m simply concerned because his weight loss and his white hairs indicate he may not be getting enough nutrients. It also could be because he has f had time to weight train all this time. But less training time normally means some weight gain not loss.

Nathan's white hair is not a new thing though.. I've noticed it as early as last season in up close shots. Many Asians get white/gray hairs even in their teens and they just kind of have them throughout their lives.

He also looks the same to me compared to worlds. I actually think he looks more filled out now than the beginning of the season. In some of the pictures he may look thin just because of the angle they were taken at (top down).

Nemesis was perfect! Smooth like butter. Perfection and Amazing ..
I am a little disappointed with the dance teams. I mean, they just came back from the OG. Why they don’t skate with their heart, and out of their comfort zone?
Mirai had some sweet moments. She is introduced as the triple axel queen. The couple next to me went nuts every time she landed a jump, thinking they witness the triple axel miracle..lol
I thought Bradie looked more refined and into it compare to Nationals.Of course she skated in front of a home crowd.
Both Bradie and Karen had falls.
Nathan skates, like he doesn’t want to miss a moment, and he is using his time to practice too. Why else he takes chances with quads in small ice surrounded by people in chairs? He will come out of SOI more mature as a skater, and with spins to die for.
I loved the closing number and the boys number.
I wrote about queen Ashley, Adam and Jason already( I hope he will be ok soon).
Go and see the show. I usually never go to ice shows but this year you can really see some decent skating, even quads..

So glad you were able to go and see Nathan, georgia! Looks like he had another amazing night

You should also post your review at the SOI thread in the Edge, so more people can see it

 

[hhh]

@ georgia thanks for the update, feels like I was there too. Shibs seem to also have received very good responses, maybe depends on the demographics. Yes, like Shine said share it in the Edge if you wish.

I wonder if SOI can consider sharing post show reviews from the audiences like yourself and others who personally experienced the shows to help promote ticket sales, fans will be delighted to see their reviews shared, too.

I’m one who has inherited white hair genes and had them since I was a teen but people say I should consider dying them once I pass age 30/40 but why??? This is a good experience for Nathan to take care (sort of) of his daily living before Yale starts.

Harlem Gala has almost the entire OG team on the promo poster, but is that feasible? It would be great if it’s true since I do love what the programs have done for the kids academically aside from the sport.

Most of the cast of SOI should be there: Since they were the Olympic team lol!

Have you guys seen the official ISU proposals for next season? What do you guys think, anything concern you or excite you for Nathan if any of these rules are to go through?

https://www.isu.org/communications/17037-isu-communication-2156/file

Summary:

Backloading bonus only allowed for max 4 jumps in LP, 1-2 jumps in SP (Netherlands & Japan)

- Bonus for skaters attempting all 6 types of triple/quad jump (Japan)

- Allow men to wear tights

- Separate judging panel for GOE and PCS (quite a few countries) - reason given: there is a larger scale of value now, so judges need to take time to evaluate correctly

- No compulsory deduction for falls, falls are interruption and should be reflected in PCS

- Elimination of the compulsory steps before solo jumps in SP (tech committee) - reason given: already counted in GOE so it's "controversial" to count steps as a requirement

- No repetition of any type of quad jump (tech comm) - reason given: "variety" & "giving credit to skaters that can perform all types of quad jumps"

So reducing LP to 4 minutes is not there.

Imagine being at The Bean and bumping into Nathan! How fun would that be?!

 

[sheetz]

Sun Valley tickets go on sale tomorrow morning but the prices have already been set. This year Nathan's tickets get bumped up to the "special" pricing level normally reserved for holidays and Olympic/World champions. That means $49 for bleacher seats and $175 for the dinner/show.

Yes very much so and a few friends and I were foolish enough to debate it one time lol Hope he’s enjoying the day off with his family/friends.
