Nathan Chen


tweet from a fan who watched this event in person

Frankly speaking, no pic or vid has properly delivered the terrifying scene I witnessed on site at the moment. Poohs were still on the ice when the preceding skater’s scores were called😭 I can say nothing but admiration about Nathan’s mental strength. Just brilliance.

I know there Pooh drama lately (lol thanks Raf ) and I love the Poohvalanche, but I can imagine it would be pretty scary for some skaters not used to it. On top of hearing that score. Yeah, really can't say enough about his mental strength.

I think Nathan didn't care about the Pooh storm because he heard Yuzu's score and was confident that he could beat it.
 
Nathan didn’t sound like he was at all terrified of the Poohs when asked about them afterwards.
 
He mentioned he liked the Poohs. I think he appreciates people who love and support skaters. I know he wasn't bothered by it, but I can see how some would who weren't prepared
 
I really hope Nathan doesn't do Rostelecom.

Also, he is quite natural with kids, I've seen him at shows and competitions greeting fans and he's amazing with them! :)

Since he's already won Rostelecom, I'd also like to see him go to a different Grand Prix with the hope of winning a new one, but NHK will be the most unlikely for him to be assigned to. The only hope is if Yuzu stays on the Grand Prix and chooses not to do NHK, and both Shoma and Nathan get assigned to NHK. If Yuzu chooses not to do the Grand Prix, then Shoma will get bumped up to the first tier, and Nathan and Shoma will not be assigned to the same competitions.
 
Supposedly Yuzu is superstitious and might not want to do NHK, Rostelecom, or Cup of China.
