It is probably uncouth to reference a different forum, but I forgot I check this golden skate forum dedicated to Nathan Chen from time to time.

Kurt Browning and Charlie White are hosting an online event this Saturday evening featuring the cast of the last SOI (Nathan Chen scheduled to be on between 8:40 and 9p). You can also post questions to the SOI cast - let's just say they probably won't answer my more controversial questions.

He was a little tight on the 4Lz, but everything else was pretty good. And it was a funny tidbit to know that Shae-Lynn Bourne literally pulled out this black getup from her closet for Nathan Chen to wear. ?

For Nathan Chen, being "a little tight" is perfect. :p

Hopefully he does well this time in the upcoming Olympics. He literally crashed and burned at the ones in PyeongChang.

 

Random note too, I had a friend who used to do fantasy figure skating online. Predicted who would come in what place at events. I did'nt know they had such a thing until he told me. ?

He had the subscription to watch all the events online too. I know he said only around 300 people or so would be in it. But I know he came in second one time for an event or the season or something.

He is such a luscious, charming, intelligent, twink-hunk, and his voice is the voice I would love to hear first thing in the morning. ?

I really like Nathan Chen's combination of Athleticism and Artistry. His Ballet training has given him excellent posture. He also skates complete programs where he focuses the same level of energy on the spins and footwork as on the jumps.

The triple Axel is a terribly difficult jump, the only jump started skating forward which means it is 3.5 rotations. Still he really needs to get this fixed, particularly for the short program where it will be compulsory. The starting value of a triple Axel is 8.5 while a double is only 3.5. Shoma Uno from Japan has been very impressive and will be one to watch. Rippon has always been inconsistent, and I doubt that the pressures of an Olympic Games performance will help his consistency. For me, the three favorites are Chen, Fernandez, and Uno- but the Russians, and Chinese also have strong challengers on the Men's side.

Now that Shoma has been working with Stephane Lambiel, I wonder how that could shake things up.

Hearing his voice deep in the night wouldn't suck either. ?

He sure has grown into quite a young stud though. ❤

Yes.

He's asking for music recommendations for his free skate program (which I would think would be a little late). Do you guys have recommendations for him?

His programs are listed on his website.  I was especially impressed when he skated to  “La Boheme” by Charles Aznavour.

Nice choice.
