I've just updated his OP. It lacked information from the last two seasons. Enjoy!

Yeah! Hooray for Nam winning his 2nd title! I was on vacation at the beach but still glued to online forums waiting to hear news, then got to see a video soon enough on youtube of his free skate! Nam seemed to be in a slump the last few seasons, but he has rebounded and gotten used to his height. He and Keegan were a joy to watch. What a wonderful turn of events.

Oh also-- Nam is my "friend" on Facebook, so I've seen some congratulatory messages and pictures posted by other skating fans and people who probably know him in real life. Polina Edmunds' mom was one of the many people who also congratulated him. :)

The following is "bonus material" that was filmed by TSN, but not aired during the Nationals television broadcast (as far as I know---I don't actually have TSN). It was made available only in 540p.

YES!! So happy for him for the result of SC 2019.
I haven't seen him skate that well for so long.
It was nice to see him and Yuzuru hugging before Nam stepped into ice for his Free program.

Omg, it was a riot during his skate, like seriously, the joke went Hanyu did a good job warming the crowd up for Nam. The absolute awesomeness of it was unbelievable!

Great job by Nam, using the incredible energy Yuzuru left on the ice and absorbing all the audience's pentup excitement to turn his skate into a supernova of a performance 😄 I don't know if he'll be able to replicate THAT again, but I'm very proud of his silver and hope he can keep fighting strong this season. Nice work!

Wow, Way to Skate Nam!

I wondered how Nam Nguyen was going to handle skating right after Yusura left his magic on the ice. He had to show a lot of patience waiting for the Winnie the Pooh bears to be gathered up, but he didn't let his nerves get to him. What a skate! As Tracy Wilson and Rod Black exclaimed "It was the skate of Nam's life" Congratulations Nam, well done! All the best going forward to the Canadians

It was icing on the cake that Nam skated so incredibly well after Yuzu. People have said it above and other places as well, he was brilliant at taking the energy left by Yuzu's performance and turning it to his own use! He repeated numerous times that he was "used" to being around Yuzu. Nam would naturally be less intimidated because of familiarity.

Just watched the rest of the Skate Canada men FS before I go to work. I have not noticed him very much before, but now I really have. Lovely personality to watch. I hope I have a possibility to see him live someday.

I know it's two weeks late, but here are the Nam-related vids from TSN's coverage of the SCI Men Free Skate.

Q&A Fluff: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7nqaqt I don't have TSN, so I'm not sure if this segment was televised or if it's just bonus material.


Before someone asks, I don't have any videos of TSN's Men SP, but if I find it, I'll of course share any Nam-related clips.
