Nathan's La Boheme will be the best program for men this season, at least this my feeling, even if it's too early to say so.

In a way I feel both his new programs are a bit easier for him compared last year's. Last season's programs were more emotionally challenging, whereas I sense this season's programs are more within his comfort zone.

Some Nathan mentions:

Medvedeva interview:

Who, in your opinion, has the best lutz in the world?

– I like the way Nathan Chen jumps. I liked how Yuna Kim jumped triple lutz. It was always very correct and very beautiful.

Marin Honda interview. She says that Nathan often helps her with jumps when they train together.

The Gadbois team is expanding and renaming themselves Ice Academy of Montreal, but it's not clear if that will affect Nathan in any way.

Nathan mention in Gabriella Izzo interview:

I think having the diversity and the variability is really important in the sport, too. I mean, look at Nathan Chen. He's doing rap music, and it looks amazing.
That kind of answers my next question, it's if you could have the skills of any figure skater in the world, what would it be? Would it be the ability to convey any type of program?

Oh, that's hard! I think I would want to convey any type of program, but at the same time, I want to do all the jumps - quads, quints - whatever - I want to do all that! So I think maybe an ability to mix both the athleticism and the performance part of the sport. Have the technical content on par with the top people in the world, but also to be a performer that draws in not only the judges but also the audience and moves people. I guess you could say like a Nathan Chen, or a Evgenia Medvedeva, Yuna Kim, Carolina Kostner - they all had the ability, the technical ability, yet they also brought the program components side to life as well.

Must have been filmed on the same day as The Ice talk with Shoma since they are both wearing the same t-shirts.

Nathan's view from the Apple Keynote audience
https://twitter.com/aboutNathan0505/status/1171496819299246080

I didn't watch the whole event but it doesn't seem like he played any role in the presentation. I assume there must have been some good reason for him to fly out to Silicon Valley and miss school? :scratch2:
And now he is in ice rink in SJ.

I guess it was related to boosted boards, but I’m not sure...
