      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 .... :)

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!

    In addition to skating, he competed in gymnastics at the state and regional levels for seven years and previously trained in ballet with Ballet West Academy. Nathan entered his first figure skating competition in 2003.
    Nathan is the 2022 Olympic Champion, three-time World champion (2018, 2019 & 2021), 2022 Olympic team silver medalist, 2018 Olympic team bronze medalist, 2017 Four Continents Champion, three-time Grand Prix Final Champion (2017-2019) and a ten-time U.S. national champion (2017-2022 in senior, 2012 & 2014 in junior and 2010 & 2011 in Novice). Also Nathan is a student at Yale University.
    He is such a humble, talented, gifted, down to earth, optimistic, easy going, artistry, loyal, legendary figure skater and human being.

    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.

    • @thulekovish8188

      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.

    He's very humble and so down-to-earth. Representation is very important, I agree. Do athletes usually train years for the Olympics or is him focusing on school and waiting couple years normal for athletes? It would be great if he could go to the Olympics again or in general other competitions but doesn't seem like that is on his mind right now, rightfully so.
