Nathan Chen

I got nostalgic and watched clips of young Nathan on You Tube. I missed a lot of his early stages and development, but watching this little clip with 4 U.S. Gold medalists meeting him as a kid, he was so shy and sweet and very huggable LOL awwww https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzjolFgJbHE
I'd only seen the pictures not the video. Thanks for sharing. They were all so sweet to him. Tt's so awesome to see how welcoming figure skating legends are. It's fun to see this video and compare it to the congratulations video they did after he won the gold medal. So cool.

This stuff isn't really supposed to happen. Most prodigies flame out. Nathan was the first and last junior I'll ever follow. I'm never getting this invested again. 😂


PS As Tara got close to hug him a part of me asked where her mask was? These are the times we live in.

He was one of the most impressive 13 yo ever! Here's an amazing exhibition program he did at Skate Asia around that time.

Love the KFC and Pizza Hut pig out LOL. So deserved! :) Oh and Shoma and Yuma fanboying! Thanks for those links!
Oh...Marie France Dubreuil picked Rocketman for him?! Wow...even better! BTW I think Mom's purple costume was better than the orange Vera Wang one for the LP though, personally. No offense Vera.

speaking of costumes...I wonder if Vera created a new Mozart costume for Nathan.
if Nathan is planning to bring back Requiem then he should skate in a period costume, white tights, shorts, a big wig and white powder face :)

why not ? hahaha can someone create a photoshopped version of that LOL

I am so so so so happy Nathan won here. He deserved his moment. I guess, if we could change our usernames briefly, I'd be 4everchen for a little while :) (i would have also been 4everphan a couple weeks ago)

nathan's niece posted a clip of Nathan saying happy birthday to his uncle in Chinese

He is so cute when speaking Chinese
Surely Nathan wouldn't have a niece old enough? He only has one married sibling and don't think she has any children. Maybe the niece of his one of his parents?

Interview with Nathan's third grade teacher.
OMG, check this out:
When Nathan Chen was in third grade at Hawthorne Elementary, he filled out questions in his class’s yearbook. When answering the prompt where he sees himself at 60 years old he wrote, "If I were 60 I would land my quad axle. P.s. Thank you for all the support. -Nathan 2008."

Nathan has spent lots of time as a spectator over the last few days:
Watching short track
Watching ID
Watching hockey
Watching the Super Bowl

I was campaigning for mom shirt for a long time! Can you imagine winning OGM in a shirt your mom made? Oh well, it was a nice shirt he wore. I wish I had such problems "which shirt should I wear to win the OGM?"

I want to know what Adam Rippon was showing Nathan on his phone in the backstage clip they showed on USA this morning!! Whatever it was seemed to make Nathan laugh!
