I'm a figure skater myself and Nathan Chen's 2019 performance is what really made me get into figure skating. I've been skating for 4 and a half years, and I'm so glad I've kept skating. I am working on split jumps and being able to do my scratch spin and this is so cool to watch.
I wonder why scratch spins are less popular today in world championships figure skating. They use to be more common and it's always a crowd pleasing spin. Were they devalued by the ISU because hardly anyone does them anymore in competition?
wait, wait... he plays the piano flawlessly, he is a champion ice skater, he attends Yale University... how come his day has 56 hours and mine seems to have 8 and a half?
Sigh, coming back to this video after the announcement of the cancellation of world championships, so this is probably the last Rocket Man performance. I was looking forward to his polished step and choreo sequence but now it's nowhere to be seen :( Wish Nathan all the best and see you next season!
There looks like theirs been some touch up's and polish here and there, great that he works on his components even though he gets high marks there already, he's a smart guy who knows his strengths and weakness and he's working on them. Go for Gold again Nathen! Keep going up and up.
4:17 - nice! In qualifying competition that would have had to have been a rotational jump for points. It's too bad the COP restrains skaters' creativity, because 4:17 is so representative of what skating is missing nowadays, but Nathan's skating really overcomes the rules in so many ways!
I agree in a sense but when will he do it? when he's older? Jeremy Abbott and Keegan Messing do backflips and they are older than him so I guess so long as you have the proper technique a backflip is like one of his jumps.
@@ws-yc7ue A number of skaters does blackflip at exhibitions or skatings shows for entertainment purpose, I mean it really hypes up the crowd! (Even Brian Orser did that few years ago, does that makes doing a backflip sounds a bit more reassuring lol)

I love how he just randomly adds a backflip 😂😂😍😭

@@captainbryce1 I'm not really sure, maybe it was like an extra skill that wasn't hard enough? I'm not really sure if I'm being honest

He also played hockey, competed in gymnastics and learned ballet.
seriously, he should be one of avengers in Marvel movie.
He can also play guitar very well. 🎸
He is a very talented guy.
If you practice 40 hours a day, you too can be like Nathan Chen.
I'm very sorry for the Worlds 2020, I'll be your ardent fan forever ...
I'm still hoping they could do it in September/October
I love nathan!!!

So glad he kept this for Olympics!
Two words. He rocks...& two words more. He rules.
"oh my god I want to die" same girl. I would die if I see him skate that close to me.
He seems to love skater and he seems to love skating in front of other people, I can't believe he would give it up.
Oh my~~ I can not imagine when he back to Yale this fall!
Nathan you’re super COOL we love you!! ❤️❤️❤️ please take care don’t do backflip... Thanks for sharing!!💓💓👍
Can someone tell him don’t do the backflip?That’s a little dangerous.Please be careful Nathan!
