Why Nathan's fans often use "3", "5" and "saisai" in their usernames? I slightly remember it's something about his Chinese name? Someone please explain, I notice this so often

I guess Nathan’s birthday is May 5th (5/5), so people use that number often. Because, I use that number either


And @aboutNathan0505 (oh,5 in username again lolol) uploaded SP Olympic channel version. Ashley commented about Nathan. I love her comments to hear! She repects and loves Nathan so much.

At the show lol, I hope Nathan WILL show up haha because I have been watching learn to skate level programs for half hour. All very cute though.

They have group warmups with lights on all the time.

Chinese fans call him the "3rd Chen/Chan" or something like that, after Tiffany and Patrick, so that may be where the 3 comes from. As Hollymolly said 05/05 is his birthday so lots of fans use that. Not sure about the saisai.

Is there a decent crowd? Videos I've seen of previous shows seemed pretty sparce. And I don't think they did a lot to advertise Nathan's participation.

No, f&f mostly.

Zamboni time and then 2nd half. No sight of Nathan yet.

Thanks Mamamiia for the live report

Hope Nathan is there!!

I bet this was another case of Nathan inviting himself to participate, just like with Karen's workshop.

 

[Mamamiia]

He is here

Another perfect 3A, 4F, and step out on 4T. Don't quote me on those jumps, i am half guessing, half year ago I couldn't recognize any jump lol.

Maybe Nathan was just being nice to offer to perform in the show

Shoma is already in Vancouver preparing for GPF, while Nathan is performing in a kids holiday show

But the extra performance opportunity could be helpful.

He is here

Video to follow tonight and then you can correct my report on jumps...glad I made the last minute decison to come. Also saw a dark grey brand new handsome looking car zoomed off, let’s just pretend it’s Nathan's lol.

Glad that you decided to attend and thank you for always sharing video with us:luv17: - Nathan fans all around the world appreciate it very much!

Really happy that he had perfect 3A and 4F:luv17:

This performance may give Nathan some more confidence going into GPF, he got to participate in the holiday show and surely all the kids loved it and were inspired by him, and Mamamiia got to see Nathan skate again in person, as well as his new(ish) haircut - and possibly even his new car. Win-win all around!

Thanks for the report! Sounds like it was a good opportunity for everyone: Nathan got to practice his SP again and everyone else got the chance to see the World Champion!

 

[frida80]

Did he do Caravan with quads? Sounds like he used this as practice. Our boy always has a plan.
