Nathan Chen

I want to know when everyone started to fall in :luv17: with Nathan and how he caught your eye. For me it was Le Corsaire at US Nats last year, and then Stole the Show there showed a even different side of him that made me go :eek: and :love: Nathaaaaan. Prior to that I had been quite disinterested in men's skating for a long time.

When I saw those two short clips from last year's Sun Valley Nemesis practice... the way he moved and carried himself, his foot positions, those casual yet snappy body moves... :luv17:
(Yes, Shae deserves credit for creating such a cool program, but I honestly don't think any other skater could have pulled it of in such a distinct and cool manner as Nathan did)

After i saw 4CC SP runthrough in person, that is moment i fell in love with Nathan.
His gorgoeus posture of Le corsarie and beautiful 4luz ( that was first time i watched quad. ) took my hearth away...

Runthrough i fell in love) https://youtu.be/R5EC-DhW4K8

That's one of my favourite run-through videos! :love:
 
Cool flashback photos with Han Yan.

He said Nathan was his favorite young skater and that he believed he would become a great skater one day.

This looks like it was taken at the Ice Castle at Lake Arrowhead. Was Han working with Raf at that time?

Few years ago, Han trained their in summer time. At that moment, Han planned to move to Raf ( and Raf accepted) but Chinese Federation did not approve it.
So maybe that pic was taken at then Lake wArrowhead.
 
shine - thanks for sharing that video! I’m another who can never get tired of this program😍 and between repeated Nathan viewings and from ballet - must have heard this music 1000s of times !
 
I had to watch Nathan’s short program in the skeleton costume to find out what was the big deal about his pants -:). Yes very nice pants indeed! -:)

haha - glad we could get you to watch skeleton Nemesis and that you agree about his pants ;)
 
not me. first time I saw Le Corsaire it was the Aladdin costume. ;) Steal the show stole my heart somewhere between GP France and NHK.

serious question: did the sleeve fall down during Nemesis in any show aside from Long Island?

Does that look like the Long Island SOI?
 
Thank you. I compared with your excellent video to check, but better to have an eyewitness ;)
