Thank you for those links! I am glad the Olympics Channel put the full LP of Nathan's from Beijing. The NBC upload edited out the Raf hug which I found offputting. The Raf hug was celebrating the LP! Can't edit something important like that out NBC!Phil Hersh's article was recently updated with what I believe are new quotes from Scott Hamilton and Hayes Jenkens.
At Age 11, Nathan Chen Set His Course for Olympic Gold
Nathan Chen is an Olympic champion. But it was the self-aware realization of an 11-year-old Chen and his relationship with coach Rafael Arutunian that paved the way.www.nbcbayarea.com

I cannot believe Nathan visited for a segment on tonight's Watch What Happens Live on Bravo - two of my absolute favorites. I can die and go to heaven now.
Did not look comfortable at all. LOL

There was a link to twitter thread a few posts up. It included an exempt from an interview. But it looks like it's deleted now. Maybe I got overly excited by a fake news.
I watched the interview with Nathan and for Nathan fans that was not a confirmation. He implied he was going to Worlds but he could have easily been talking hypothetically--as in this is how athletes do the turn around from the Olympics to Worlds (like he did in 2018). Nathan is great at keeping people guessing so until I see true confirmation I'm not believing it.

I am invested in other skaters (hi Jimmy Ma) but they don't have the consistency. None of them do. I'm always so relaxed watching Nathan. I know he'll do well.

We should all know by now he's not going to tell us anything. I think he loves keeping us guessing.
I love watching many other skaters too. Jimmy is so fun to watch. For me it comes down to the level of expectation I have for each of them. TBH I have been pretty nervous watching Nathan compete the last two seasons. Really hope I could just enjoy his skating without worrying about the results if he ever competes again.
Nice roundup article including a few interesting quotes.

After his return to the US Nathan was interviewed for the Anaheim Ducks. They do appear to think he's headed to Worlds.

Thinking about Nathan's personality and why he would even care about earning another world title, I think these are some possible reasons for him.
1. He's already done the work, and feels confident in his skills. Why not take advantage of being able to actually perform to a crowd?
2. Coming from a poorer family background, struggling to make ends meet your whole life, the payout from a World Championships win, while not HUGE, is still SUBSTANTIAL.
3. Nathan doesn't LOVE being in the media spotlight. He's already made some appearances, he isn't like Adam, who wanted to become a part of pop-culture. Why force himself to be something that doesn't fit his personality?
4. Some of his best friends are going to Worlds (Hawayak and Baker, Mariah). Who wouldn't want to take the opportunity to travel to France with your best friends, especially when travel is such a rare things these days?
5. Nathan's a perfectionist. He probably is still annoyed for popping his triple flip at the Olympics, so if he has a chance to remedy that, and end with an even better performance, why not?
All that to say, I'm excited to see him compete one more time, with the caveat of if World's will still be able to go on as planned considering the state of the world.
