Nathan featured in Women's SPA: https://joshi-spa.jp/917475

As it was an astonishing score of 323.42 points that scored 22 points higher than Hanyu's score, people other than figure fans are also attracted attention.

It is a good-looking guy with an Asian appearance that is friendly to us and a model for fashion magazines. The dynamic and sex appealing performances are already outstanding. At first glance it looks tall but with a height of 166 cm, the style looks pretty good.

Michelle Kwan is scheduled to be at Yale today where she be honored as a Chubb Fellow. Wonder if Nathan will be attending the event.

What a prestigious fellowship! Also wondering if Nathan will be attending.

Interesting that they included Michelle’s Kids’ Choice awards along with her other accolades and accomplishments. I watched the most recent Kids’ Choice Sports while babysitting - and it was unexpectedly entertaining. The Shibs were there doing a challenge with Chloe Kim and Shaun White.

It would be fun if Nathan was on the awards show someday - and of course to win his own Kids’ Choice award

Both in 2017 and 2018! It was so cute!

I'm watching Michelle being interviewed and I think Nathan is in the audience because she referred to him and gestured to the audience.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dCTvKk0KN4

ETA: He was definitely there. It's long so I haven't watched the whole thing but at the end she talks about seeing Nathan riding his skateboard on campus and sending him a message to BE CAREFUL! LOL

Here is the part Michelle sent him a message, such a cute moment

Around 7:23” mark in the Youtube video, Nathan was introduced as the 2 time world champion, just coming back from Japan. And he is said to be from JE, not TD, which was the residential college for Sarah Hughes

Incredible to see them in a photo together. Definately an appropriate emoji.

GOAT!

Nathan looks cute wearing a Breton sweater.

Skateboarding isn’t so bad though - Nathan has been doing it for years now.

They were both at last year's Figure Skating in Harlem gala so not the first time.

Both will be there again later this month.

We were really blessed with this press conference:luv17:

 

[alexaa]

Finally found my notes when watching the video.

A couple of more places she talked /mentioned Nathan during Q/A. The skatingboarding part is at the end.

1:02:12, 1:14:19, 1:16:19, and probably 1:05:00

Michelle Interview
https://youtu.be/6dCTvKk0KN4?t=4483
'Just a few years ago when my sister sent me youtube clips of Nathan, I didn't think doing a quad lutz was physically possible - I did not think that it would be to the level of where he's skating' ... she also talks about Alysa's quad lutz.

'You might want to ask Nathan or Alysa that - I don't know what's capable, I don't know what he's working on at Yale. You might like set up a camera to spy on what he's working on - because I'd be curious to know. Not to encourage you to do that - sorry! But it's awesome, it's an incredible time, and I see it develop and I see the things that Nathan is doing ...'

https://youtu.be/6dCTvKk0KN4?t=3903
'But I do applaud the skaters that can bring the artistry, and the elements, and the quadruple jumps. Nathan - when I watched your free skate, I was like, this is where it is the most magical combination where someone can do 4Lz, 4F - and to be honest, when I first heard of you doing that, I was like, No way. Then my sister sent me video clips and I had to rewatch it and put it in slow motion - I never thought it was humanly possible, and he has to do all the elements of like the footwork ... and where the spins ... nowadays you have to be in these crazy positions and you can't breathe when your body is contortioned ... I applaud those skaters that can bring the artistry, the musicality, and the athleticism of all these quadruple jumps - and also go to Yale.'

4S to Romeo and Juliet music! Kinda miss his old white Adidas jacket

Sad that 4CC B.ESP videos have disappeared from youtube ... I didn't save them. Especially sad about the SP video being gone.
