He seems to be in a constant state of being sick

I think he will be ok, he’s quite used to this by now

Sponichi Sports reports he did 4F in his run thru: https://twitter.com/sponichisports/status/1116559291874332674?s=20

4F,3A-2T,4T,3A,4T-3T,3Lz,3F-1Eu-3S

I posted this to my instagram just so I could share the link with you all!
He is actually super human!

Yes, that was just posted on the ISU account so it seems he's OK. Otherwise I assume he'd be lying down resting somewhere.

Can't believe he has SOI next week, too.

He needs a rest, but I'm sure he'll be fine. Two 3A, it's been awhile since he's tried that.

 

[sheetz]

He's in the cheering section for pairs so it seems he's ok.

That's good, though people were freaking out on twitter. He must have appeared really ill.

Actually my friend is now watching WTT in person, and text me Nathan looks really not good....

 

[discode]

He wasn't sitting with the team during the FD.

And yeah, his Japanese tag on twitter is full of people worried about him.

On a more positive note, a nice 4S https://twitter.com/nwcgold2019/status/1116643368539287552

Hopefully he's just resting since he doesn't skate for awhile.

He looks good in warmup.

 

[reneerose]

I'm surprised he is at WTT due to isn't it almost like finals at Yale? Go Nathan!

 

[oatmella]

Good luck Nathan!

Stay strong

 

[lurkz2]

He looked really tired, kinda like SkAm, glad he got the 2x World Champion PCS. Managed to land the 4 Sal and the Axel combo too. Methinks they're already strategizing for next season.

His floofy hair deserves some +5 GOE today

He did well! That 2nd 3A :dev2:

And 4S is back! And gorgeous

 

[maryeli]

Well, he did it
I loved at the end (I assume it was for the second triple axel )

 

[1111bm]

He's insane.
He's had no rest since Worlds, he's been travelling and studying all the time, probably barely got any training done in those two weeks, has a cold, jetlag (which two of his main rivals are not struggling with), changed his FS jump layout almost completely, successfully did a quad that he hasn't done all season long in competition... and he was still (almost ) clean and won the competition... what is wrong with this kid??
(also, please don't jump with a lozenge in your mouth Nathan, you don't wanna risk choking on it )

ETA:

His floofy hair deserves some +5 GOE today

yes

 

[discode]

I was slightly worried. Vincent did really really well. But he pulled it off.

his poor axel streak https://twitter.com/nwcgold2019/status/1116673386854244352

And over 300 with no 4lz or 4F.

 

[sheetz]

4S? No problem. But maybe adding a second 3A is pushing it.

Now get some rest.

 

[Tahuu]

Changing the first 4T to 4T+3T may have affected his timing and caused him rushing the 2nd 3A a little bit. Still well done (301.44)!
