Nathan Chen

Breitling watches? wow

Supposedly a Korean actor even received a Jaguar (the car, not the animal lol) as a fan gift before

I am not sure Nathan would make use of a gift like a LV bag ;)

And he must be a young actor too 😏
Ok Nathan, I will work hard, save my lunch money and forget about furthering education, then buy you a house. A Lego house lol
 
A little too late to the celebration party of "Nathan Chen Day" at May 16th for Salt Lake City. When I first heart the new that SLC named 05/16 Nathan Chen Day last night. I made 2 connections. 1, Yuna Queen also has a Day named after her "Yuna Kim Day" at August 7th for the city of Los Angeles. https://youtu.be/r20C_HLYeno?t=46 Surely, Nathan is collecting little milestones on his journey towards the legend of this sports of figure skating 2, There is a Chinese article about Nathan's father coming back to his hometown in China with the knowledge(Medicine related) he learned in US to help his hometown in China, He was celebrated at his Chinese home town just like Nathan's home coming to SLC yesterday. The real Like Father, Like Son.

i think Nathan Chen Day in SLC is truly special, it is not just another naming. it is truly about legacy, Many olympics citie's facilities build for the games were eventually deserted without good use in so many Olympic cities around this world. But Nathan's story is such an good example of what Olympics should bring to people, community and cities. Nathan not only trained on the facilities built for the games, also went to the games 15 years later as an Olympian, Nathan's story is truly the definition of legacy of Winter Olympics Games at SLC. This is the sport complex Nathan trained before, https://slco.org/sports-complex/ice-rink/ 2 Olympic Sized Ice sheets.

I think Nathan is still a little camera shy in front of hometown TV, but seems felt a little more relaxed and think on the spot in later half of that interview. Nathan may wanna take some public speaking classes in Yale. And he shakes/moves his head so much when he was doing interviews:biggrin:
 
speaking of language, Nathan learning Chinese, If any language as second language I always suggest to learn Chinese to Native English speakers.1. Chinese is a very distant language to English, thus the Challenge is real:biggrin:. 2, Chinese is the foundation of all oriental languages and culture, and the history, intelligence etc. . Let alone the first generation Chinese American Nathan. it would be very nice and cute to learn Chinese in the future for Nathan. Ofc only if Nathan is interested, Funny thing is that, not many teenager ABC are keen on learning Chinese like Vincent or Karen.... But if Nathan learns some Chinese in the future, he will understand the deep love from his Chinese fans better. all those poem, lyrics etc.
 
Speaking of Karen, her incorporation of Chinese culture, dance in her figure skating, and painting is always appreciated by her Chinese fans. And Karen is wearing a leather jacket in SLC M&G kinda sorta matches to Nathan's now ICONIC jean jacket.:biggrin: Who could have known that jean jacket would become this ICONIC. I bet many of us Nathan fans here chuckled at his choice of that Jean Jacket when it first appeared in Skate America.
 
about gift from Fans to Nathan , I am wondering is there a gift price upper limit as far as Nathan is concerned. Maybe Nathan will NOT accept gift that is tooo pricey, such as a diamond ring:biggrin:;)
And always nice to see Nathan go out of his way to communicate with fans in all those rushed, excited and inevitably a little awkward and chaotic M&G.

Glad "Nathan does not play favorites":biggrin:, otherwise my computer-designed and drugstore printed gift will never compete with Japanese fans.:biggrin:

and Thanks for @hhh's detailed M&G report, waiting for more and Thanks to all the updates as always

Thanks for sharing that about Nathan's father 😊... I don't know a lot about Mr. Zhidong Chen - but I suspect Nathan may have gotten quite a lot of his character traits from him, as well as his looks.

Nathan was so cute in that interview - 'Of course I was only 3 at the time ...' Continuing the legacy of the SLC Winter Olympics and truly incredible achievement at only age 19. Perhaps in the future, fans can donate to a charity in honor of Nathan Chen Day - someone needs to start the Nathan Chen Foundation :)

As for camera shy, I think it is so adorable 😍

Nathan (or anyone) would have to reach quite a proficient level of Chinese to be able to understand those poems and lyrics. I am not sure if Vincent or Karen would have a great understanding of them either - I don't know if they can read well? Well Vincent is into poetry - perhaps Chinese poetry as well :) I think their Chinese is pretty good - but they still use quite a lot of English when they speak. Though that is the only Chinese interview I have heard from Karen, perhaps not the best example. Comments from one of Vincent's Chinese interviews on youtube, 'Chinglish at it's best' and another, 'this chinglish is too relatable, vincent? vincent you’re too relatable for a world class athlete, pls stop' :)

I think Nathan's Chinese accent (of what little we have heard) is so adorable though

I feel in love with Karen after seeing her first exhibition with her fans! The way she welds then is so fluid and natural, like extensions of her body!
 

Aww love the boys pic and Alice sister humor is always spot on

I received my first warning from this forum Admin team so sorry @mamamiia & @oatmella for replying about Nathan’s cologne scent :) won’t do that again. Also, will need to trim down my m&g before I get in trouble again.
 
I miss seeing Nathan in competition already:o:. Miss the moment Nathan get in his pose, deep breath, chin down and then the music starts...

aww ... Skate America isn’t until October 19th though - not sure if he will be going to any competitions before then ?
 
US International Figure Skating Classic in Salt Lake City is September 12-16 ... thinking that likely wouldn't work for Nathan as school would have just started?

Are there summer competitions? Nathan has his shows in Japan in the summer - plus he hasn't gotten his new programs yet :)
