does anyone have pics when he were that shimmery turquoise croptop and blond wig

You mean his cosplay as Princess Jasmine? The wig was brunette.

Nathan mentioned in Samarin interview
https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/threads/vaytsekhovskayas-interview-with-samarin.106033/

EV: In the last season you briefly worked on the same ice with Nathan Chen. What did it give you?
AS: It was very educational. First I really wanted to see how the world champion is training. And there was a competition - Chen and I were going into the same competition and I wanted to show myself. I loved the way Nathan approaches the work. I learned a lot from him.

EV: For example?
AS: The practice for him is not a work that you have to set yourself in some special way. It doesn't matter whether the coach is on the ice - if Nathan is on the ice - he works. It's hard for everyone without the coach. Me, an adult athlete, I don't need to be taught to work alone, you don't have to make me work, but when Svetlana Vladimirovna goes somewhere I sometimes catch myself thinking I'd like someone to give me a push. That week that Chen spent in TSKA changed a lot in my approach. Nathan spends most of the time working alone. And a great respect for making it.

Thanks sheetz for all the updates.

Seems like Nathan is going to give himself a deserved break. One of his favorite band is in town, and it looks like this Yalie is going.

Of all his students, iiic, Raf ranked Nathan the same level as Michelle in terms of professionalism.

BTW, Nathan put Boosted “Move fast with Nathan Chen” video link in his IG bio.

This fan was suspecting the man helping with the ticketing table at US International Classic last week was Nathan’s dad. She met Nathan at the adult championship back in April.

Also, I’m not sure, but I think Nathan Chen’s dad was manning the ticket table earlier. Can’t find the pic from the Olympics that came to mind to be sure.

Nathan banner was spotted at the rink :biggrin:

Anyway, here’s Nathan Chen’s banner watching over us all, with guest appearances from Carriera/Ponomarenko.

Those replies under that People Article tweet... are just incredible.

Who cares. We got an interview, and Nathan got some coverage/publicity. My assumption is Yuki is trying to get him more sponsors, so some publicity is good for negotiation. Some athletes from that Toyota convention already got new cars. Hopefully Nathan would have a new car soon.

I guess you’d better remove a certain word from the post so as not get into trouble ;). We all know what you are talking about. I removed the word from the quote :biggrin:

Joke’s on them for being bothered by what some celebrity magazine, an american one at that, writes. Shame on them for writing a favourable article about one of their own.
It’s not like they’re any type of authority on the sport of FS, geez.

That reminds me, we should start a black list of all judges and members of the technical panel, that have wronged Nathan in some way (that is, in our mind at least, anything else doesn't matter). Because apparently that’s indicative of bias and politicking. :laugh:
Like remember last year, when out of the blue, he suddenly received those ! on his flip edges during his first GP outings? That reeks of a panel with an agenda! :yes:
(ETA: and at Skate America to boot!! whatever happened to home advantage and favouritism?! LOL)
We'll see what they come up with this year. :laugh:

4Lo at JO is like a tradition by now lol, but pretty sure he wants to stabilise his 4S first and be comfortable with jumping it together with Lz, F and T in one program, before even thinking about the 4Lo.
I also think he'd benefit more from attempting a 4T+4T combo in the short, before putting 4Lo in his free (which for him pretty much equals 6 quads, sigh. just no).

I do hope he takes it easy this time at JO with a watered down content, but for some reason he seems to be itching for some thrill at the beginning of each season, after not having competed for so long. :laugh: (jk)

Well that world is a social phenomenon worthy of being studied at this point. I think mentioning it is fair game :biggrin:
