Nathan interviewed on ESPN

Looks like he was also interviewed on the People TV show

Also a reminder that he'll be on Access Hollywood later on today.

No way! It really does look like Nathan's Olympic costume! All right, no more need for skaters to spend hundreds or thousands on skating attire.
Probably a knockoff immediately produced after Nathan's gold medal win at the Olympics. It makes me wonder if this is the first time that a skater's costume was immediately knocked off like the dresses after the Oscars.

So, they're finally acknowledging figure skating as a valid sport, after dumping it for a hot dog eating contest...:rolleyes:

CNBC article by Megan Sauer (Feb. 23):
Excerpts:
That included a major mindset shift: He stopped going into competitions thinking, "I'm here to win," he tells CNBC Make It. "Whether I won, whether I lost, I [wanted] to gain as much as I could [from the experience] that didn't revolve around what sort of placement I got."
Perhaps counterintuitively, refocusing away from winning helped Chen do exactly that: He captured Olympic gold earlier this month, landing seven quadruple jumps between his two individual events. His short program broke the world record – and, he says, he had a lot of fun doing it.
The second part didn't happen until he was in Beijing, on a bus to the ice rink. Looking out the window, he says, was striking: He was heading into the biggest week of his life, while everyone around him was in the midst of their typical commute.
"Regardless of whether or not we win, whether or not we lose, the world's going to keep turning," Chen says.
Chen says the bus ride helped him zero in on what was important. Rather than picturing himself on the podium, he focused on feeling gracious for the opportunity to compete and the respect he carried for the other skaters.

Initially, I had the thought, "Why didn't NBC have a car and driver for him. But then I remembered what it was like trying to get through Manhattan traffic. It's easier to just get out and walk, especially if the time between appointments is tight.
I think the "running" was used figuratively, because in Alice's IG they WERE in a car!

Also Yuki's IG

Nathan's appearance on California Live yesterday

Nathan and the other GPI Olympians will be dropping the ceremonial puck at the Kings v Ducks NHL game tomorrow night!

Nathan apparently in a photo shoot for Teen Vogue

Preview photos for the James Corden show

Article reporting on the pair of Nike sneakers he won on Fallon

If you have a Japan VPN you can watch this short video from NHK. Nathan has a brief appearance and they peek into his bag to see that he brought a basketball and football to practice!

I'm glad those Nike sneakers only cost $60! Good for Nathan not encouraging kids to want $250 sneakers. At $60 I will look into getting some for my son.

Nathan is confirmed for the Tokyo stop of SOI Japan. Still waiting on news of the Osaka dates, which could depend on the coronavirus situation in Japan.

Stayed up last night to see this and it was so worth it! It looked like Nathan was actually enjoying himself because James Corden is so wacky, as well as is Will Arnett.
