    Imagine how he suffered a disastrous short program at the 2018 Winter Olympics, expected to win but finished 4th, in front of the entire world. Had to wait four long years, through hard work, sweat and tears, attending school at Yale (!), then a defeat at Skate America just a few months before these Olympics (which could’ve shaken his confidence)….YET overcomes all these struggles to make it back to another Winter Olympic Games, this time battling three extremely talented Japanese skaters, and finally WINNING the GOLD with two outstanding performances in the short and long programs! Nathan Chen is simply REMARKABLE.

    Love the way the Japanese skaters applauded Nathan's performance. Now that is sportsmanship!!! Nathan Chen saw a sports psychologist who emphasized that he should go out to the skating rink and enjoy himself and not concentrate on winning. In the 2018 Winter Olympics Nathan admitted that he was concentrating on winning and the pressure affected his performance. Look at his 2022 performance and notice how relaxed he appeared and he even smiled during the middle of the program. Hope to see him back in 2026 after he finishes his degree at Yale. His loving mother believed in his son and sacrificed so much for him. She is really a humble person and wore plain clothing and no make-up when she surprised her son at the Today show.

      It’s been 20 years since Nathan started at age 3, and he already went to two Olympics, leaving the sport with an Olympic gold and at his peak is most appropriate in my humble opinion.

      The Japanese skaters might be gracious, but a LOT of their fans aren't. Watch how many times in videos the Fanyu's do not applaud for Nathan after his fantastic performances. In many of the competitions, especially in Japan, Nathan's applause was tepid compared to Hanyu's. It's fine that the Japanese would applaud more and be louder for Hanyu, but the difference between the two was striking and, in my opinion, poor sportsmanship on behalf of those people who did not also applaud for Nathan.

      @@howardchan6167 Yes, Hanyu is unable to do them. He's never been able to skate at Nathan's level. Hanyu has only ever been consistent with three quads. At four quads, he often makes mistakes. At five quads, fatigue sets in halfway through the LP, and he makes lots of mistakes. He's never had a lot of stamina. That's why he only ever attempted five quads once in his career at the 2019 GPF. Fatigue set in quickly, and the program started to fall apart. Halfway through, his energy was so tapped out that he basically dropped all his presentation, skating listlessly around the rink. For that LP, he only scored 100 technical points and 94 PCS for a total of 194. He wasn't even close to cracking 200 because he got so much -GOE for mistakes. In contrast, Nathan scored 129.14 in technical and 95.78 for PCS, totaling 224.92 in the LP. He crushed Hanyu by 44 points at that competition. Even with five quads, Hanyu couldn't beat Nathan because Nathan's base value is so much higher, and Nathan is FAR more consistent than Hanyu.
      Here's something you might not know. Hanyu has only ever skated two clean programs back-to-back just TWICE in his 12-year career: at 2015 NHK and the 2015 GPF. That's it. Even prior to that, Hanyu was a very inconsistent skater. In fact, he never won BOTH of this Grand Prix assignment competitions in a season until the 9th year of his career, the season AFTER Peyongchang. Leading up to the Sochi Olympics, he lost both his Grand Prix assignment competitions. The season after winning gold in Sochi he lost both of his Grand Prix assignment competitions AGAIN, along with his World title. In his 12-year career, Hanyu has skated in 43 international competitions but won only 17 of them. That's a 40% win rate or winning just 4 out of every 10 competitions. That's a losing record. Even after winning gold in Sochi. commentators would often talk about his inconsistency.
      In contrast. Nathan has a win rate of 73% or winning over 7 our of every 10 international competitions across his career, losing just 6 competitions in 6 years. That's the highest win rate of any skater in the modern era (post-1970). As you probably know, in the last 5 years of Nathan's 6-year career, he lost just twice for a win rate of 88%. In the last 4 years of his career with three undefeated seasons, Nathan lost just once for a 92% win rate. That's because Nathan is a FAR better and more consistent skater than Hanyu. Other skaters also have much better and winning records over Hanyu's losing record: Plushenko (68% win rate), Yagudin (61%). Hanyu has always been inconsistent. That's also why he never had even one undefeated season.

    I haven't watched skating in a while, but weirdly, Sarah Hughes' skate that won her the gold in Salt Lake came up yesterday, and this one came up today for me. I remember leading up to this, people compared Nathan to Michelle Kwan, with all of the weight of expectation coupled with a (perceived) failure in Pyeongchang (I maintain that he kind of needed to implode to rebuild, but that's for another day). However, when I watch this, I see the same freedom that Sarah Hughes had that made her so great in that long program. Unlike Nathan, she really WASN'T the best skater in that competition, but I remember watching it live...that kid had JOY. She was there to skate her best in the Olympics, and did it. She skated like she had nothing to lose. It was awesome to watch her. But Nathan is next level because he WAS the best. He had ALL the weight of expectation, and he still skated with joy and like he had nothing to lose. Incredible.

    It seems to me that even his competitors were happy that he won. I liked sportsmanship in men's figure skating, their respect to each other. And this competition was so cute and amazing. Without drama and unfairness. Thanks to all of them we got so many positive emotions. And this Olimpic Season is named after Nathan Chen. He has been unbeatable and wonderful for all these four years. Thanks for emotions, Nathan. Love from Kazakhstan ❤️

      I hate the shirt, but it doesn't really matter. I'm so tired of people accusing him of not being artistic. He's ALWAYS been artistic, just different. Introspection and moodiness are not the only ways to be artistic, and even as a classical musician, I'm kind of tired of that. We often are handed these "meaningful" pieces that are commemorating people's deaths or something, and they are sad and slow, and there is a place for that, but honestly, it takes just as much work and artistry to make Marquez's Danzon No. 2 fun and exciting as it does to make Adagio for Strings heartbreaking. Nathan can do introspection (my FAVORITE of his programs was the Philip Glass one from last year), but he can do ANYTHING. How is that not artistry? It's artistry, AND it's flexibility. We see so much MORE of his personality because he does something unique and different every time. Also, Hanyu, who is deemed "artistic" (which I agree with) often does the same things over and over again, but Seimei, arguably his best and most famous program, was NOT that. So I guess I just don't get the criticisms of Nathan.
