I met Nathan at a Stars on Ice meet & greet. I was surprised at how small-framed/slender he was. He doesn’t look that that small on TV or on the ice.

For anyone in Southern California, Great Park is having a send off event tomorrow for skaters attending Nationals, including Nathan.
Nathan made a brief cameo in the Team Plus Five IGS.

Of the skaters I can see, he’s the only one wearing a mask.

I was there (thanks to sheetz for letting me know this was happening!) and can confirm that this information is indeed correct. He was also doing quads during the warmup period beforehand, and was wearing black pants and a black hoodie during the performance. The 4Lz3T looked particularly nice.
I wonder if this means he'll be using La Boheme for US Nats? 
Thanks to both you and Apple1078 for sharing. IMO, it must mean he’s going back to La Boheme. This is his only chance to perform his SP publicly before Nationals, so you’d think he wouldn’t choose a program he’s not even going to use. And is he really thinking about 4F 3A 4Lz3T layout? That’s a bit crazy.I was there (thanks to sheetz for letting me know this was happening!) and can confirm that this information is indeed correct.

I think he may be switching back to La Boheme as well, given the additional consideration that Worlds will be in France next year. Also, other skaters that were at the show were also doing their current SPs. (Mariah, Starr, Calalang/Johnson, Kneirim/Frazier).
As for the layout, I think anything could be on the table for someone wanting to win an Olympic gold medal... Nathan is also known to change up his layouts on the fly, so who knows?
By the way, I have a question relating to Nathan that I've been meaning to ask here for some time: why do his fans love to give him stuffed otters? Please be kind to me, I appreciate Nathan and am just curious...
Some clips from the performance.

He stated in an interview one time that otters were his favorite animal.

Chen never got to perform La Boheme at Worlds since it was cancelled, so I am all for this being his Olympic SP, and maybe the Clementine medley as his encore performance in the gala.

I thought I saw a piece of Nathan's current long's choreography while he was warming up, but I could easily be mistaken. I know this may sound crazy, but I can't wait to see what happens to it.So what’s going to happen to his long program?
I felt embarrassed to post here at first, as I'm primarily a fan of one of Nathan's rivals, but you guys seem nice. Maybe I'll come back here sometime.
I would second that. La Boheme was an amazing program, very powerful. Bring it back!

Thanks so much for the link! I loved to see La Boheme again, it was such a pleasure to watch. And the 4Lz+3T was superb.
Anyone else thinks Nathan looked totally amazing wearing those black pants and the black hoodie?
Agree. He looks more confident and comfortable with it. But why do you say programs? Did he also change his free?
Not that I know of. Just typing too quickly lol.

Personally, I'm hoping that it was indeed Mozart's choreo you saw him warming up. I really want him to keep his LP. Anyway, I didn't really care for Eternity at first but I'm now realizing that there's a maturity to that SP which I can appreciate. I would have liked him to simply rework some of the choreo and the music cut. As much as I love La Boheme(it's romantic), I'm not really fond of the idea of him recycling programs for the Olympics, especially programs that he already had special moments with. Still, if he's going to recycle programs then at least it's a program with more depth. La Boheme would be fitting for Worlds, too, if he decides to go.
