[SkatingMusic]

Thanks SkatingMusic for sharing - I am envious but happy that you got to meet Nathan

IT WAS NATHAN - omg - and very gentle - he sounds super sweet

I think I heard a shout out to your group before the show started? Is it a special VIP group?

Yes. It was the proud TeeterPal group-

TeeterPal. We are one of the largest parent-and-kid community group located in San Francisco Bay Area.

Pig feet seems pretty normal though - for Chinese food?

I actually ate some after SOI - went to a Szechuan restaurant

Oh ok - thanks for the info. Sounds like a special group if you got to meet Nathan and got a shout out

Were a lot of kids from the group there too? Nathan seems especially sweet with kids

Feels like the random Nathan pop-up in San Jose SOI is some kinda special treat fan service from the organizer.

I think octopus sashimi (moving) is weirder than pig feet.

Haha yeah I would say so. But the interview was done before he ate the octopus (unless he had tried it before as well)

Probably not our favorite Nathan moment - but Nathan looks in the photo here wearing Brushstroke Vera 'uniform'

'Nathan Chen, the beautiful Team USA figure skater, is reportedly only in love with figure skating. But I think it's time to change this guy's relationship status. I'll love you, Nathan!'

and the article linked to another ft. that photo you like - yyyskate

which then linked to this - it's never-ending: https://www.isu.org/figure-skating/...ed-interview-nathan-chen-usa?templateParam=15

Q: Are you also studying?
NC: Yes, I’m a senior in high school. I have one more semester, then I’m done with high school and I’ll take a gap year next year to do the ACT SET things for college and then after 2018 I’ll decide what to do. I definitely will apply for college, in 2019 depending on which I want to go to.

Q: What is your character like?
NC: Pretty shy. I’m not really trying to get out of my way to be outgoing, but I try to be a little bit more. I’ve just always been super shy, but with my friends I’m pretty outgoing, pretty casual. I tend to be a little bit more quiet and just to myself, I’m a little bit more introverted than extroverted.

Q: Your family comes originally from China, as far as I know. How good is your Chinese?
NC: Not so good. My Chinese name is Chen Wei. I can speak a tiny, tiny bit, just basically get around, but I understand it decently well. My mom speaks like a mix of Chinese and English, it’s not full Chinese, that’s why some words I really don’t pick up on. Both parents came from China. I have two brothers and two sisters and initially, when my two sisters were really young, they spoke full Chinese, but as my brothers came and as time went on they kind of switched from Chinese to English and they kind of lost it, unfortunately for me. Of course, it’s a good thing to have.

that will be interesting . Yesterday's Chinese tv feature - I actually thought he might be speaking some Chinese in the interview - haha. He looked SO tired there - and maybe a little sick?

The Salt Lake show is tomorrow - is this the only Wednesday show ?

 

[oatmella]

so from isu interview, he did say his Chinese name/陈巍

'My Chinese name is Chen Wei.'

And he's ahead of the college plan he described - he said he would apply for colleges after the Olympics (I guess what Karen is doing).
