Vera makes what Nathan wants, not to her taste. She’s an amazing designer and can make him the kind of fits you guys are talking about but it ain’t about her (or us). That’s what Nathan likes and that’s how he wants to dress. There’s nothing to be done about it, it just has to be accepted 😂. He won’t change and no one can make him. I’m glad she doesn’t force anything he doesn’t like onto him and only cares about what makes him comfortable rather than what she or others prefer.

Happy Belated Birthday to Nathan. I had a whole post of other skaters/athletes/coaches etc quotes about him from the past planned but life got in the way 😂

I thought he didn't want to cut his curls for 2018 Olympics but had to comply because Vera insisted on it? :devilish:

As of now you are post 20,000, at 10:30pm Eastern/ 7:30pm Pacific Sat. Is something up?

In the link... that looks like it might be Brezina? Whoever it is seems to be making a point.

When will GP assignments come out this year, do you think?

Was Nathan coaching? And who was talking to him, Todd Eldredge?

I think yes to both.

ETA: Wonder if he also coaches on Todd’s sessions now. Or maybe he’s teaching small groups/private lessions outside of Team Raf’s session. Just don’t think he would practice on the same ice with those kids.

Nathan and proud Mom

And to go along with above, a 2018 article about Nathan’s mom that I had not read before:
www.sltrib.com

Salt Lake Olympian Nathan Chen can attest to this mantra: Mother knows best

<b>Gangneung, South Korea • </b>Hetty Wang will make sure her son rolls out of bed. The goal remains to head out by 8 a.m. Traffic in Southern California is hell no matter what the clock reads. She still will drive her youngest of five children, Nathan Chen, to his home rink in Lakewood, Calif...

Has anyone danced to The Prince of Egypt anthem? This could be good too for exhibition if not one of the competitive programs...

And I think for me was when you're trying to concentrate on the quads usually something else is gotta give. You know the choreography goes out the window, the musicality, cause you got to focus on the jumps. But not with Nathan in this performance. Every single detail of every aspect of the performance was flawless. And it was one of those... I know we couldn't be there, but it's one of those moments of the historic figure skating when I wish I had been able to witness it live.

Not only is he extremely skilled, he’s also so mesmerizing when he performs. Each time I see his performance, I stare in astonishment! His skating style is so smooth and effortless. Each move is full of strength and power, but at the same time, full of beauty.

Stick to the end to hear her call him “Leng Zai” (Cantonese for “handsome guy”) 😆
