At the SOI M&G a Japanese fan asked Nathan what he would skate to at Sun Valley. His answer was that he still didn't know yet but that he's preparing for something new. The fan also posted a bonus clip of the first public performance of Nemesis at Sun Valley!
 
New description of Nathan's memoir on Amazon:
In this exhilarating memoir, three-time World Champion and Olympic gold-medalist Nathan Chen tells the story of his remarkable journey to success, reflecting on his life as a Chinese American figure skater and the joys and challenges he has experienced—including the tremendous sacrifices he and his family made, and the physical and emotional pain he endured.

When three-year-old Nathan Chen tried on a pair of his sister’s figure skates, magic happened. But the odds of this young boy—one of five children born to Chinese immigrants—competing and making it into the top echelons of figure skating were daunting. Chen’s family didn’t have the resources or access to pay for expensive coaches, rink time, and equipment. But Nathan’s mother, Hetty Wang, refused to fail her child. Recognizing his tremendous talent and passion, she stepped up as his coach, making enormous sacrifices to give Nathan the opportunity to compete in this exclusive world.

That dedication eventually paid off at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing, where Chen—reverently known as the “Quad King”—won gold, becoming the first Asian-American man to stand at the highest podium in figure skating. In this moving and inspiring memoir Chen opens up for the first time, chronicling everything it took to pursue his dreams. Bolstered by his unwavering passion and his family’s unconditional support, Chen reveals the most difficult times he endured, and how he overcame each obstacle–from his disappointment at the 2018 Olympic Games, to competing during a global pandemic, to the extreme physical and mental toll the sport demands.

Pulling back the curtain on the figure skating world and the Olympics, Chen reveals what it was really like at the Beijing Games and competing on the US team in the same city his parents had left—and his grandmother still lives. Poignant and unfiltered, told in his own words, One Jump at a Time is the story of one extraordinary young man—and a testament to the love of a family and the power of persistence, grit, and passion.

Brief mention of Nathan in latest Raf interview. Sounds like they haven't spoken much lately.
Do you miss Nathan Chen’s workouts?

Rafael Arutyunyan: After the Olympics, Chen went about his business. Traveled with a tour of the country, published a book. Of course, I miss Nathan, but we have a very simple relationship. Everyone has their own life and their own business, but Chen knows that he can always ask for help if he needs it. For now he hasn’t asked.
