I love that he recognizes his mom, is proud of both his American and Asian heritage, has an innate humility while still knowing who he is and having the confidence to shine on the world stage. Obviously he is an amazing athlete and an extremely intelligent person. Those qualities are only outshined by his wonderful personality. Again, congratulations, so, so proud of you and happy for you. Good luck with anything you undertake in the future!

      But I'm into figure skating and I'm obsessed with Nathan since his first senior season. World figure skating has never had such an athlete. Nathan won all competitions (except one SA) in the last 4 years ! I have been watching figure skating since the late 1960's ...
      Someone who is not on the topic may not be able to imagine what it means to achieve 113.97 in Short Program and 335.30 Total Score .... :)

    He hasn't one more thing to prove. He skated the two most technically difficult programs in Olympics history. He changed the sport and won the gold medal in the Olympic Games. His legacy is intact. Now he has the opportunity to make his mark doing other things. I would be thrilled if Nate moved on.

      Quit while you're still ahead and leave a solid and brilliant legacy behind you. In two years, after graduating from Yale, I hope he'll continue his post graduate work and then his Ph. D. In one interview, he said he would always stay in touch with his sport and probably would return in the future in some other capacity. That's exciting.

That speaks a lot about how unfriendly a place like Salt Lake city is (don't be fooled by its glory of hosting the 2002 Olympics) lots of Hispanic people live there and anti Asian - horrible place to live, poor infrastructure, downtown area looks like a ghost old hack, nobody cares to have it upgraded. They only want to move to Lehi or South Jordon, white men areas LOL, to get away.
      The magnitude of a mom trying to overcome the odds to offer her son a better resource is amazing.

    It really sucks that Michelle never won Gold… she’s one of the greatest American skaters to ever take the ice.

      Nathan is truly multi-talented. He is not only an Olympic champion, he is also a superb pianist and versatile dancer. I enjoy watching all his incredible performance.
