NBC helpfully complied a nice little practice session video for us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEj05CHkNKo

He looks great. Hopefully, he has fun and enjoys the moment. If he is relaxed and happy, I believe his best performance will come.

Nathan Chen hopes to dethrone Yuzuru Hanyu at Beijing Olympics. But ‘The Prince’ has a secret weapon

In his quest to win his third straight Olympic gold in men’s figure skating, Japan’s Hanyu is planning to attempt a quadruple Axel — a jump no skater has ever landed in competition.

There are almost too many articles to keep up with at this point.

Article: Nathan Chen Hopes To Fly At Winter Games With A Little Help from His Friends

“Just rest, get some food, do my chores, and go to bed,” Chen said when asked his plans for Monday night.

“So far, it’s been really enjoyable. I’m probably having more fun here than last time (in PyeongChang), as a result of the four years in between, getting a little bit more experience and having my friends here," he added.

“I would not get involved with interviews, Instagram, Twitter,” Boitano said. “I would just focus on the job at hand. I would unplug and focus completely on what I was doing.”

Chen seems to be embracing that advice, to the extent he can. He turned down a brief interview with NBC prior to the team short. He didn’t bring his personal cell phone with him to Beijing. Instead, he’s counting on his Team USA friends, his electric guitar and his basketball to help him decompress.

“My friends have really helped me stay grounded over the past four years,” Chen said. “Now having them here in person is really different (than in PyeongChang). Having Mariah (Bell), Jean-Luc (Baker), Kaitlin (Hawayek), Evan (Bates), Brandon (Frazier) — I’m missing a few names.”
Chen, Frazier, Bates and Baker are sharing an apartment in the Olympic Village.

I actually backtracked Jackie’s website to find how his practice skates were in 2018. He definitely seems to be more consistent this time. Guess we will see in a bit how it comes together.

Here for you Nathan, no matter what happens!
