As we are gearing up for the 2023-24 season (more details coming soon !), we took the opportunity to look back at some pictures that captured our last season. And when we looked at the pictures that our members had shared with us as their happy skating memories, we realized that our club is full of Nathan Chen fans !!!! We are lucky that so many of us get an opportunity to interact with Nathan Chen as he skates in area rinks. Not only do the skaters discuss how awed they are by Nathan's on-ice skill, power and sheer athleticism, they can't stop gushing about how kind and courteous Nathan is on and off-ice. On ice, Nathan always makes an effort to share the ice with all skaters and off-ice you will find Nathan signing autographs and posing for pictures with a smile. Thanks for being such an Awesome person Nathan Chen ! We really hope that we can have Nathan on our Club ice someday soon .

Nathan's sports psychologist who was mentioned in his memoir is publishing a book, due out next Feb.

Nathan on the assistance she gave him:

“Vicky said to me, ‘Anything you need, ask us. We will help you,’” Chen said. “Without Vicky, honestly, it would have been challenging for me to get anywhere.”

Video of Nathan's "coronation"

https://twitter.com/sydthepasserby/status/1696466501904298464

----------------------------------------
Thoughts on Sun Valley:
--Gorgeous resort. Not cheap but very classy! The neighboring town of Ketchum is equally delightful.
--The Sun Valley rink is the most intimate skating venue I've been to. Practices are free and open to the public. It was so cool being able to walk right up to the edge of the rink to watch. After practice a horde of fans lined up to meet Nathan as he left. That's where the "coronation" video was filmed.
--Nathan seemed very relaxed during the show. His skating had a lightness to it that I hadn't seen in awhile. For my money he has the most expressive arms in the business!
Some of my favorite parts:
Opening of HOT https://www.instagram.com/p/CwdcBXhKww1/
