YES NATHAN! :clap:

I can breathe again... well for a while. Now the silly fan in me says I hope he can do it again in a couple days. lol I'm just so glad he got to exorcise those demons.

All of the candles, prayers, voodoo, etc. worked. We made it through the first step guys! :ghug:

Whew, he did it! And under so much pressure, too! That was one of the best SP I've ever seen from Shoma.

BTW, the 2min Jurassic Dominion commercial debuted.

And because he's not human, Nathan went right from the team event SP to the men's practice on the practice rink. Look likes he's just marking his jumps in his FS run-thru but his game face is still ON.

*whew* sight of relief!

Happy for his redemptive skate and a personal best! Can’t believe it’s been 4 years. Quite a journey it’s been.

These athletes have been though so much. Glad to see several others also achieving a PB.

Translation by me:

4F 3A 4Lz3T Superman, where's the gravity? After the last jump I really loved the way he went into the steps at twice the speed. Everything was just so cool looking! Level 4 stsq is not enough to describe the sick sense of balance and musical interpretation! I want the beauty of his toes and fingertips to be shared!

Not gonna lie, I was so nervous for Nathan, I thought I was going to vomit. It didn't help at all that the media has been so focused on reminding, comparing, and asking him about his state of mind this Olympics compared to 2018. I mean, they've been so focused on this redemption narrative! It was great to see him come out and show that he's too strong now to falter though. I'm super, super proud of him. There's a good chance for him to earn some world records too so I'm looking forward to seeing what he does.

Has this commercial aired? He's in so many I'm getting them confused! I like all his commercials so far. Is there a list of all the ones he's been in this year? I know Jurassic Park, Grub Hub, Bridgestone. I thought there was a Toyota one that aired during Nationals? I haven't seen the Visa one yet (on TV, did see it online). And his image and/or videos of him appear in many commercials too like the one of the kids emulating the Olympians and the one about people being brave.

It's so hard to keep track of everything but I'm sure I linked them all somewhere in this thread.

There are several versions of the Toyota commercial and two versions of the Grubhub. A few completely different Xfinity commercials. Bridgestone, Visa, and Panasonic have commericals. Omega has a commercial but he's not in it.
