So Glad that Nathan finally won his well-deserved Olympic gold medal!
He has a clear understanding of his job as an athlete. He's so young but very focused. May God bless and protect this humble American athlete.

If the U.S can't stand North Korean's nuclear weapons, then the U.S. can abandon their's first. Nuclear weapons can destroy earth. No country should have it at all. U.S needs to negotiate a PEACE treaty with North Korea! An alliance can help that much, if not, Why is worth it?

So happy that all his dreams on ice are now fulfilled. He fell down and then got himself all the way to the top. Very inspiring!
I feel so bad for him! He did so well and yet people are only focusing on his one mistake during the olympics? Like in the video he's extremely good??? And for his age, he PHENOMENAL????? He's young, and I hate how in the olympics everyone only focused on his mistake

Oh no he said he would only be going to two olympics and he went to 2018 and 2022 I pray he would go one more time, he the greatest skater I've ever seen.
I love how he says "this part is mainly just resting" LOL. Every skater has slow "rest breaks" in their program, but few would admit to it!

lol. Nathan seems like such an honest and straight-forward kind of guy. Even in his interviews from when he was 10, I was thinking just how serious, practical, and honest he was as a young child.
Love those curls. They really suit him.

He's so humble. I love him so much.
I love how he explains "reacting to the music" as it hits different parts of the song. That performative part of a program really matters, and it shows when it's present and when it isn't. Matching your skating with the mood is so important.
rooting for you, nathan!!!!!

I wanted to see how amazing his FS was in person so I went to see him perform at US Champs last month. It was an amazing experience for someone who’s never seen a figure skating competition before. He was simply fantastic! He’s an incredibly talented skater. Wishing him all the best at the Olympics!
He was born to make history
So happy that you always score at 100 or more.
what an articulate young man
Kid is beyond talented but still so humble. please give Patrick Chan a lesson in humility

i did not know the background to the music in this program, this makes me enjoy the program even more. thanks for the video! go get 'em nathan!
Just for the record: Yuzu's score in the Olympics was 317.85. Nathan had 326.40 in the World Championship. He is the world's best skater and the Olympian's best skater!!!! Love you Nathan!!!!!

@@benbailey159bb By far Nathan Chen is the best. Nathan has beaten everyone including Hanyu since 2018 Olympics. In particular after 2021 WC FS, no figure skating experts including judges and his predecessors, decorated and iconic medalists like Alexi Yagudin have qualms about his current status quo as the best among all. Nathan Chen has been miles ahead of his peers, Hanyu included.
LOVE U NATHAN
watching u skate brings tears to my eyes, like hall of the mtn king by pier gent...or pictures on exibition, such beauty, and movement
I watched that movie because of this video. That movie is so good.

Dude your focus and drive are so inspirational to me as an athlete. Plus you’re gorgeous 👌

Hope U will be a gold medalist in pyeongchang From S.Korea

I still dont know 5 quad thingy. But i love youuuuuu. ❤️
Super powers,indeed!
Does anyone if their are links to the entire program of the mens skates? I cant seem to find any
It is interesting watching this as a ballroom dancer. You notice where his weight is in much finer detail than most people would.
I know it has nothing to do with the video. I just wanted to say that he looks like my favorite Kdrama actor Sung Joon.

Amazing skater . I see several gold medals at more winter Olympics for him
Just a question...What exactly did he do wrong in the jump series at 2:43 ? I noticed that he got a red in the bars at 2:50 following the sequence, but I couldn't see what was wrong/worthy of a deduction. Does anyone happen to know?
