I was pretty low all of yesterday after Nathan's SP. after hearing about his boots I was really concerned. Then last night I woke up around 3AM EST. I felt this odd hot burning sensation. One the same feelings I got a few times last season. Before Mirai's Team Event FS or Nathan's FS at the Olympics. I decided that meant that I should stop worrying and trust in Nathan. After all, he's has bad boots and now has the experience to come from behind.
Turns out I was right. Nathan handled it like he has in the past. He tested out which jumps weren't working and omitted them and changed his layout accordingly. He smartly took out the 4Lz, since in 2017 Worlds his weak boots broke on the take off of his first 4Lz. But his 3Lz were still fine, which is a really good sign he'll put the quad back in as soon as he breaks in a new pair of boots.
Such a nice way to start the day. Our little Nate did such a great job! I'm so proud of him!
Glad he shared the podium with Jason too - my two faves!
