Well now I don't have to catch it on the DVR playback.
Sheetz, thanks so much for all you do here on the NC fan fest.
Nathan is so very special.
Any NC fans in the Boston area? he will be doing a book signing there?

To everyone in the US happy Thanksgiving!

How is no one commenting on Nathan's book yet??? I found it touching how everyone saw his potential, and did everything they could to help him out along the way. His early figure skating coach putting her foot down and not letting Nathan ever put on speed skates made me laugh. How is it possible for someone to just be so talented that every single coach he encountered wanted him to specialize in that sport? The what ifs boggle the mind... he could easily have been a ballet dancer, a gymnast, a speed skater...
I haven't read up to the actual skate of the 2018 Olympics yet... but the buildup is so painful, as you see Nathan recount his mistakes that he made along the way, and all the emotions and stress that had built up... I also thought his description about his jaunt over to Marina Zoueva for coaching back in the 2016 season to be so fascinating, and the tension that built up between him and Raf. Nathan never blames Raf, but you can clearly see how Raf's style of coaching would be so bewildering to a young Nathan. (Especially how Raf would answer questions with parables that Nathan would have to interpret... lol)
Nathan is clearly very grateful to everyone who's helped him out along the way. It makes me wonder, how many other talents are out there who don't have the resources to succeed?

Mine will arrive later next week. Perhaps a discussion can be held when more people read it or it can be discussed by PM. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. The fan club site has a few excerpts from his book as do various ig or tw sites. https://www.facebook.com/groups/911715039655684
Here is a link to an excerpt from NBC sports, incase others may wish to read it but BEWARE, there are spoilers from 2018, so SPOILER ALERT!
If you go back a few posts, Georgia has some comments on the book.

I think a lot of us may be busy with the Thanksgiving holiday? Anyways, I've finished reading the book and thoroughly enjoyed it. Nathan is low key in his manner of describing things but if you're a skating fan and have followed his career you can sort of read between the lines and see how extraordinary a person he really is. I'll have more to say in a few days when life has settled back to normal.
I don't think I ever posted this article about the book's release from a few days ago.

Reminder for those in the LA area that Nathan will be appearing in Downtown LA this afternoon for a Meet and Greet/Book signing. Other skaters scheduled to make an appearance are Meryl Davis and Starr Andrews.
I had intended to provide my opinion on Nathan's book but I just came across this amazing Amazon review that encapsulates my thoughts better than I ever could.

Yes, there's quads out there this season... lots of them actually, but re-watching this 2021 WC FS just makes me miss Nathan Chen on competitive ice even more.

Overall I'm pretty impressed with the diverse turnout for the event. If I just looked at the group of visitors it wouldn't occur to me that this was a bunch of figure skating fans!
