Nathan is scheduled to appear on the Hanging With Champions podcast this summer.
https://www.facebook.com/patrick.kinas/posts/10222330950245467
I'm co-hosting a new podcast called Hanging With Champions with my Olympic swimming analyst from Rio - Dara Torres (the legend) - and every two weeks beginning June 1st, we're going to dropping a 22-minute audio/video podcast hanging out with other Olympians.

We have six confirmed Olympians booked thus far: Caeleb Dressel, Nathan Chen, Mirai Nagasu, Apolo Ohno, Adam Rippon.... on, and last Tuesday, we got confirmation that some guy named Phelps is coming on.

Nathan briefly mentioned in Tarasova interview:

Are there any skaters who bring you such a delight that throws you out of the chair?

Tatiana Tarasova: There are. This are Yuzuru Hanyu and Nathan Chen. I am delighted how Shae-Lynn Bourne, the most progressive choreographer, remade him, and how much Chen has achieved in working with Rafael Harutyunyan. Harutyunyan and I once worked at the same rink in Moscow at the Young Pioneers Stadium, which is now buried under high-rise buildings. This is how they successfully buried the stadium, together with people – both me and him! And now he is America’s best coach. And I get aesthetic pleasure when I look at Chen. He jumps five quads!

Nathan mentioned as a good role model in interview with Scherbakova's parents.

Nathan is indeed a great example. I saw a couple of times in Japan how during the show breaks he would open the laptop and the notebook and study. His life last season - making it everywhere means his head and his discipline are at the right place. You can only admire it.

In a Russian article, Adyan Pitkeev compared Nathan and Yuzu rivalry “ Competition between two-time Olympic figure skating champion Japanese Yuzuru Hanyu and two-time world champion American Nathan Chen resembles a global rivalry in football between the Argentine Lionel Messi and the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, said the bronze medalist of the Russian championship season 2014/15, now coach Adyan Pitkeev.”

Coincidentally, When talking about talent and success, Maxim Trankov mentioned these two in his recent interview

“For example, Nathan Chen, it seems that figure skating was specially invented for him. And there is a talent like Yuzuru Hanyu, who develop himself and continues to develop. I saw him warming up. This is physical training. I would have already died, but for him it’s just a warm-up. Talent is primarily self-development, self-education, self-criticism. ”

California is opening up a lot more next week. I wonder if this means Nathan will be back on the ice soon.

Alexa and Brandon are training at a different rink, but if they could find someplace to train I would assume Raf's skaters could as well. Stephen visited the skate shop at Westminster Ice so apparently the rinks are not completely closed to elite level skaters.

Announcement from the Rinks last week. Some rinks in LA are open, but their rinks are waiting for clearance from county and city officials
https://www.therinks.com/news/coronavirus-update-63

We're aware of reports that some other Southland rinks have opened and we have received inquiries regarding our plans moving forward. Our primary and utmost concern is for the health and well-being of our customers and staff. We remain steadfast and committed to the guidance issued by state and local officials. For now, all Rinks facilities remain closed, awaiting the clearance from county and city health officials.

Yale summer session already started at the end of May, hopefully all these would keep him pretty busy

From all those interviews, chat videos the past two months, it seems to me that he either suffers from allergies or some lingering respiratory issues

He’s had sniffles at recent competitions as well, so allergies are a possibility. Since rinks nearby are open, I wonder if he’s had a chance to work out at any of those?
