Everyone go vote!

 

[A.H.Black]

Everyone go vote!

I hope mine still gets counted if his category is the only one I voted for. I just couldn't go through 35 categories of athletes I didn't know.

 

[Wyliefan]

Same.

 

[Firedancer]

I hope mine still gets counted if his category is the only one I voted for. I just couldn't go through 35 categories of athletes I didn't know.

I skipped through most of the other ones and it thanked me for voting. It just let me vote a second time too.

I did vote for Katie Ledecky.

I think his hair is absolutely beautiful. He's "follicularly gifted"! His whole family is!

Lookie Lookie what a friend found! I so hope the link works.

The best skating performance I have ever witnessed in person - I was on the 2nd row with my jaw dropped.

I have been looking for this forever as it disappeared within a week of the competition. Now I need to figure out a way to keep it permanently.

This is a repost from Alexa's IGS. It looks like Alexa took the video and there's her husband Chris, Michal Brezina, his wife Danielle and their daughter, Nathan (of course he's not looking at the camera, lol!) and Mariah.

Nathan’s agent posted yesterday on Instagram that he’s going to be on the show Dancing With Myself on NBC next Tuesday. I’m not sure if she meant tomorrow or July 19.

ETA: he’s on tonight July 12

Stephanee Grosscup shares her fond memories of Nathan in this Idaho Mountain Express article ahead of his performance in the Sun Valley show on Saturday, July 16:

Coach Stephanee Grosscup humbled to be part of Olympic champion Nathan Chen's journey

Stephanee Grosscup has been part of an amazing ride she saw coming.

www.mtexpress.com

Excerpts:

Grosscup brought Chen to the Sun Valley Ice Show when he was still a little lad, and they sat in the stands.
“He was just mesmerized,” she said. “He couldn’t take his eyes off the professionals. I told him, ‘I have a feeling you’re going to get an invite to skate in the Sun Valley Ice Show one day and when you get that invitation, you know you’re on your way to making it.”
Chen was invited after winning the novice championship in 2010, skating to music from Kung Fu Panda.
“I went to the rink, told his mom and we both shed tears,” Grosscup said. “His mom gave permission for him to come here.”
Chen was the second special guest star that year, alongside Johnny Weir.

“I told him, ‘Nathan, you’re going to get so big in this sport, and you have to remember the places that gave you a chance when you were little,’” Grosscup said. “Make sure you go back and honor that invitation. And he has every year. People up here love him. He’s always been the same kid, humble and kind.
“Luck plays into this a lot. I believe he was lucky that I was the person he ran into, and I sure am lucky I am the person that has been a part of this journey with him and his family. I love ice skating and I love to teach ice skating. I don’t teach with the idea to make someone a champion. I teach to infuse joy, to infuse love of the craft, to infuse longevity.

I saw on one of Kaitlin's IG stories showing music equipment with editing screen. I thought it was for Jean Luc and herself but it could have been for Nathan, too.

Here's a cute picture of Nathan and Mariah with Emily Feng of the Boston University Figure Skating Club:

BU Figure Skating Club on Instagram: "We hope everyone is having an AMAZING summer!! Our skaters have been passing tests, studying abroad, traveling, and more! Swipe to see what they’re up to. ➡️🥳🤩❤️⛸"
