Thank you for sharing! We love Nathan ❤😊

Is he going to be in the next Winter Olympics or is he retired now? He is the greatest !!!

@@jdenino6022 He will prepare for medical school next year, so I don’t think he’ll come back.

Plus he was injured on the foot and NEVER complained about it or told us, which is so admirable of him.

Well said,guys…. I really enjoy reading intellectual comments from Nathan’s fans.

@@Emily-bt4hw 他是一個低調及謙虛的男生

What a comeback story. A real Olympian spirit.

He finished 5th, Boyang Jin was 4th

Japanese are the nicest people on the planet, except for one thing, most of them don’t speak English… the Japanese fans love Nathan, and I’m quite sure the Fanyus who attack Nathan are not the Japanese fans…

He had something in his program that none of the other skaters did, you could tell he was having fun and enjoying himself. All the others looked too serious.

@@KK-ol3bp its ok and fine to be a fanyu just dont be those awful and evl clownyus. 👍

@@RM-uc4mf I thought so too.

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. After receiving his degree at Yale, I think he is ready to move on to preparing for something even bigger, like the President of the United States.

No fue china fue Rusia

@@jeannettejimenezozuna2203 In this Olympic sense, ROC stands for Russian Olympic Committee.

And Jason Brown? He definitely belongs on the list of best skaters for his artistry….and his triple axel is absolutely flawless too.

And certainly Shoma and Yuma who are just starting out in seniors and already have a very high PCS rating. Yuma won silver and Shoma took bronze in Beijing.

@@mrl6956 I think Shoma has been skating on the senior circuit for 4-5 years. If I'm not mistaken, 2017 was his first year in the seniors.

@@chadley25 Of course, Shoma since 2014/15 :) I wrote: "Yuma who are just starting out in seniors and already have a very high PCS rating"

@@novascotiaskater1868 Jason's great but you cannot call his triple axel "flawless" he's not very consistent at it and gets q or < calls pretty often.

yes an thats what i miss about hanyu.

That was why he got the medal 🏅

I agree. I’m a huge Hanyu fan but In the four years leading up to the Beijing Olympics, Nathan dominated technically. It was overwhelming not only in jumps, but in spins, steps, transitions and totals.

Until this performace, Hanyu's long in Helsinki was the best I'd ever seen. But I can't believe this performance by Nathan will be bettered in my lifetime.

​@@ssmith6870 I recommend watching Nathan FS in 2019GPF and 2021world. These performances were even more perfect than one at this Olympics. It definitely surpasses Hanyu's long in Helsinki.

YES, WOW!

Well said.

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.

Because they're awesome.

I am in awe every time I watch it.

That is my absolutely favorite part. Makes me well up it’s so perfect!

That jump timing and immediate and seamless transition back into the dance gets weighed heavily into his Presentation Score.

@@saevurr He does it throughout. He uses every second so wisely. And still, it looks incredibly beautiful and fluid and emotional. There truly is no one like him.

Yeah, that quad lutz was a stunner. Fit the music perfectly.

In Women's program it was Anna Scherbakova who skated two clean programs and got gold medal. Congratulations to both of them. They deserved their victories 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥇🥇💐💐

@@anahitmusic8536 Yes!

And Hanyu has not done two clean programs since 2015. That is I believe because he had to skate more difficult programs to compete and he is unable to do them.

@@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.

@@L1623VP I watched the 2019 GPF and it was not pretty. Basically Hanyu was not able to lift his legs and grasped for air at the end. I believe it was only one of a few occasions he tried 4Lz. The funny thing is if he can't do 4Flip and 4Lz consistently why try to hit 4A. I guess he wants to be recognized for something if he can't beat Nathan.

I thought I was the only one.

I think I watch every night before bed. So very excited for Him.

No cheating or drugs just hard work and dedication to excellence. We can all feel proud

same here. same here...

OMG same. It's just pure joy and makes me happy.

Yes me too. Can't get over his mesmirizing unique style. Never get bored watching him skates . His skating makes me so happy. Get well soon Nathan Chen . I'll not get tired watching you skates.

Unique? Controversial statement.

Me as well!

I rewatch it every day

Same with me, almost every day, and still love it

Literally same

Me too , but still I want to come back to watch it even more.

@@emmamago7636 me too 😍❤❤❤❤❤❤

Me too!

Same here!

Same! This was my favorite performance.

Me neither

Me too😃

I thought it was a nice touch too. It really made me think of Sulu and Ohura. Both TV trailblazers. 👍

I agree!😇😁

Absolutely 😊

And his opening jumps :56

1:23 4 Flip plus matching the jump style to the music style.

This is what I came to say - it’s just so perfect 👩‍🍳 💋

Me too... I don't think I will ever stop going back to this video.

It was made into a book tho. Listening to the audio version rn 😎

@@MaddieFishblob i know it was made into a book but most famous people in history got thier life stories be made into movies so nathan chen should have his life story be made into a movie too

Movie would be better; he has some stunning visuals!

His quads are not only phenomenal but text book perfect! I have never seen it done so effortlessly and beautifully; only Nathan! His is most consistent!

Your wish is mine

СУПЕР!!! Божественно......

👍🤝🤝🙌🇺🇦

Couldn't agree more, Jess N!

Yes, Nathan pushed men's figure skating light years ahead, not just with all the quads, but by incorporating them into innovative programs. He proved you could skate big with all the quads without sacrificing the artistry.

The same here

And the same here

Me too!

Me too, forever on replay, best comeback ever

sameeee😭

The same here 😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Oh, he IS boring. Once you have seen his program and known the score, it's enough. No wish to see it again and again.

Phenomenal, unsurpassed and still undefeated Nathan 👑

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉the best of all Nathan Chen is.

So true. Men’s singles is much more enjoyable to watch than women’s singles. So many dramas, scandals and nervous breakdown in ladies’ event. It’s no more an olympic competition but a shitshow.

@@yolandaguo7153 agree with every single word)

@@yolandaguo7153 so so true. There is way more respect and sportsmanship among the male skaters. Competition? Yes. But the atmosphere among the different skaters is way more relaxed and friendly

Glad to see that the three Japanese skaters, which included the great Hanyu, applauded Nathan's performance. I am glad that his coach stuck to the same program as this is not the first time that Nathan has performed this. It is the same with the short program which was performed in 2021.

The men are more adult about their emotions. No drama, no tantrums.

I was so mad that I couldn’t find Nathan’s videos

Lawsuits over the music

@@fivecatlife8600 but Nathan's was applauded by artists that owned music rights

@@donnal.padilla4336 🤷‍♂️

@@fivecatlife8600 No, more like NBC’s greed, wanting people to pay for viewing on their website

agree. I love yuzuru, but Nathan's performance was the best ever in men's singles at the Olympics. And Nathan has taken figure skating to the next level. Nathan is by far the pinnacle in the fusion of technique and art.

I certainly agree!

@@junker_PES 😂😂🤡🤡

I disagree 😃

@@junker_PES I came to watch his skating bcz I was just curious abt gold medalist's skating..oh boy..he is done for me.never ever I want to come here..and I amn't even hanyu fan.. I am just a casual watcher bt I have eyes and taste too😊

He can skate such a difficult program without neglecting the components ! His elements are clear, clean, steps, fluidity...! He has it all!!

Thanks

yes, but we always remember

Agreed! I normally don't care for hip hop music but it fit so perfectly with this routine. A number of people I know who normally don't care to watch figure skating saw this video and excitedly said ""He's great. Are all skating routines like this?"

@@bereasonable8018 I would say that this is quite revolutionary and really pushing artistic boundaries for figure skating. Glad to hear that people seem more interested in figure skating now because of this😊

Agreed!

It’s a hip hop version of a well-known classic rock song.

his taste in art genres are superb!

O🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Me too!!!
