Yeah, the tone of the article was weird, like Nathan was a ball of nerves from covid-anxiety during his short and the beginning of his free skate.I just found this article in the NY Post and took exception as to how the author characterized Natha and statement of facts. So, I tweeted to her and let her know:
Gold medalist Nathan Chen shows us how to skate through COVID anxiety
Nathan Chen, the new record-beating gold medalist, had to compete in this same environment: constant isolation, fear of getting COVID and having all that work be for nothing.
This is a great article which tells us some new info about Nathan's mom also working for Hertz Rent-a-Car and having to stop mid-way to sleep a little when driving Nathan on their long road trips to southern California. This still makes no mention of Nathan's dad though, giving off the impression that Hetty Wang was a single mom doing all the work.Like many American Champions....
What does gold mean to an Olympian’s family? For Nathan Chen, full hearts and a trip to Disneyland
Nathan Chen's mother, Hetty Wang, sacrificed for her son's Olympic dream. What did it mean to see him win gold in Beijing? “Inside my heart was so happy,” she said.www.sltrib.com
I know. Nathan may be the youngest, but some of his siblings still were kids when Nathan and his mom moved to California. Dad must have been doing a lot with the other kids as well as with finances. I often wonder how a skater's siblings feel when so much of a parent's finances, time, and attention go to the skater.
I remember Nathan mentioning in an interview (years ago) that his Dad was familiar with the computations and would help him maximize his base value. Ppl also mentioned his volunteer work with the Salt Lake FSC when adult nationals were held there.
He will also be on their Third Hour as well.

Tuesday is packed and Wednesday morning also, but isn't James Corden in LA? I wouldn't think much of it this first week back in the States, but if it's continuing past that and on shows that aren't LA-based then yeah, probably not.Nathan is getting ready for the talk show circuit! Sad that it means he may be too busy to train for Worlds.
Nathan's gala performance. Sloppy 4T, but nice backflip.

Yes, Corden is in LA. With next week pretty much shot he'd have 2 weeks to get ready for Worlds. Maybe that's enough. IDK.
Right. Though anyone but Nathan and I'd think no way, lol.
Yuki said it wasn't true.
Thanks. Will set the DVRRe-posting here from TV Alerts:
Thanks as always for posting these! I guess one needs a subscription to Eurosport to open the 4th video? Sent the second one to Ashley Wagner who apparently didn't know that Nathan had his backflip under his belt for quite some time!
Not sure which one you mean because I double checked and all the links are correct.

It was the Eurosport video in which the composer of Caravan was mentioned. I got into the Eurosport site but it then kept processing. It could be my sticky ID software.
OK, I see what you mean. I was just pointing out that the tweet was from Fanfare Ciocarlia, not the video!
I think that's great! Love that a relatively unknown musician (at least in the US) thinks it's an honor that a skater used his music.
