Nathan Chen

[hhh]

Colton is banned but don’t know the cause so please be careful. We’ve come quite far to 630+ page. Shipping by writing not shipping probably won’t get a pass and remember the last ADMIN post - Nathan is the topic and trying to tag him while discussing other skaters may not work either. Just a few FYI since one of us just got banned...

Sigh

On the brighter topic - I do want to go the GPF and visit local friends while there, love the city. Wonder if Nathan got out and enjoy the natural beauty of Portland... get some vitamins D.

I've always loved Nathan's interactions with Polina. He seems to have more of a sibling relationship with her than with any other female skater.

ahhhh, love it!!!! Love their friendship

Happy birthday, Polina!!!

posting this gif of young Nathan and Polina again.

Have they trained together before?

Have they trained together before?

Not that I know of? Polina has always trained in San Jose (at Sharks Ice) as far as I know ... but looks like they attended many of the same competitions/events.

Bonus: little Polina meeting Adam - so adorable:

But he was also on the plane with the other guys on Jason's IG pic. I noticed Karen and Jason were at the dinner in Zach's IG story, but Nathan wasn't. So I assume he was still in Portland until today.

Possibly 3 flights within 24 hrs - well they were short flights at least

haha - I didn't even notice there was a second photo on Nathan's post until I saw it on twitter. so adorable!

aww, cute photo and they've been friends for years

And she has the same birthday as Alina!

I've actually liked Polina for years longer than I have been a Nathan fan

Happy Birthday to Polina!

Me too! I loooove and miss her Peer Gynt and her balletic skating!

saw this in a Polina article: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sport...-figure-skating-spt-0121-20150121-column.html

from 2015 Nationals:

Who to watch: Women — Defending champion Gracie Gold and her 2014 OIympic teammates, Ashley Wagner (two-time champion) and Polina Edmunds. Men — Defending champion Jeremy Abbott, seeking a fifth title; 2014 Olympian Jason Brown, last year's sensation; rising star Nathan Chen in her senior debut.

rising star Nathan Chen in her senior debut.

That was not a misprint.

Nathan, the quintessential dancer! Easily and objectively the most beautiful of the entire group.

[oatmella]

hey at least nathan knows chainsmokers lyrics
better than fergie lyrics although i didn't know the fergie lyrics well either

this one? Mazel Tov! That was my dog's favorite song

seems that Nathan knows a lot of lyrics - it appears that he knows the lyrics to Spice Girls' here ... Make it last forever, friendship never ends, if you wanna be my lover ...
