King Nathan! Olympic Gold Medalist now!!!Awesome and love to watch all his skating competitions here in you tube! Thank you for sharing Nathan's videos.

[@kellyanderson7624]

I loved him in 2018, I knew what he could do. And I still love him now. Watching him skate at the Olympics this year made me so happy. I was literally CRYING because I was so happy for him. I hope to see him back in 4 years to win another gold medal and land the nemesis quad axel. If anyone can do it, he can. He is the best there ever has back, and I'm so glad he is ours. :) You rock Nathan!

Hi! Just a quick question. Where do you get all the information from?? Thanks!! Appreciate it :>

[@magdafors7126]

He is an amazing athlete but it’s unfair to all the skaters before him to say that Nathan brought athleticism to the sport.

[@mrl6956]

"athleticism to the sport" ?? So interesting ....😏

To artistry, that’s different, he has a very personal style , as Hanyu, 2 amazing, stunning skaters💐🌷👏

I have just realised something 😑. Did you see yuzuru hanyu biography video? This guy try to belitting yuzu. See the picture and the headline of both video. Unbelievable 😤. Oh..one more thing..admin your headline for yuzuru got nothing to do with your content about yuzuru in that video

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

@@garysimmons1485 Each to their own...

[@Maritazpilcueta]

Without offending any Nathan Chen lovers, Nathan Chen has become a headache not only for Yuzuru Hanyu but also for all the skaters that can't jump the impossible 4quads. He has taken definetly the sport to another level, and it will be necessary another Nathan to beat him., and it looks like that this will take a while. Nathan Chen best consistent skater ever, probably the winner of the gold at the 2020 olympic games. But how about his long transitions? Wouln't be nicet if he can achieve perfect transitions? If he could achieve this, Nathan Chen will achieve really perfection.

[@divinearia1601]

I'm sure Nathan has to sacrifice some of these transitions in order to do these quads effectively. They're difficult enough to do by themselves without the difficult entries. It's all about striking a proper balance, that's all. Yuzuru might want to try that. Might help his quads out since he's pretty shaky with them. Nathan would like to come as close to being perfect as possible but he knows that being perfect isn't possible, and he accepts that.

[@y.h.b.4379]

@@divinearia1601 Cannot agree more! If somebody's quad jump is not as stable as Nathan's, then he should try taking longer transition time and make the jump stable first. If the skater chooses to rush, then there is a consequence. Raf obviously takes Nathan's health and safety as a high priority so we don't see Nathan gets injuries as much as some other skaters.

[@ericshi4478]

Wdym bruh. It’s a good thing that he’s a headache for the rest of the competition.

[@corabrann8178]

​@@ericshi4478 bad luck 😂😂😂😂

[@jennifer5512]

This video shows they don't know figure skating. There have been plenty of skaters before Nathan that have combined athleticism and artistry.

[@divinearia1601]

Know what? You're taking this way too literal. All skaters have athleticism combined with artistry, absolutely, but I'm pretty sure they're referring to the fact that Nathan is known as the Quad King for his amazing and consistent quad jumps. That's the form of athleticism that he has brought to artistry, and he is so good at it that it's currently being viewed as something kind of unique to him.

[@mariabe1568]

@@divinearia1601 Quads are not unique to Nathan though. Of course he dererves his title quad king but at the same time, imo, they could said it better.

[@divinearia1601]

@@mariabe1568..quads are not unique to Nathan...but his consistency and ability in being able to do them so well is, indeed, unique. Notice too that he can do 5-6 quads in a program and not be gasping for breath at the end of his performance like so many other skaters. His stamina is amazing. He has enough strength to still do clean, powerful quad jumps at the end of his programs. The phrase "athleticism" is actually a very accurate description of him. It's similar to how the term "artistry" is connected with Yuzuru. Neither have any true weaknesses but their strengths are very different. One is more known as an artist with his fancy/dramatic performances while the other is more known as an athlete for his mastery in the technical aspect of the sport.

[@divinearia1601]

You're entitled to your personal opinions. Why don't you go say that on a Yuzuru video though? Nathan fans came here to watch a video on him and to talk about him, not Yuzuru. We don't care about your opinion, your over-obsession with your idol, and we don't want your negativity here. Thanks. For not liking Nathan's skating, it's amazing how so many of you spend your time searching up his videos, viewing them, and making comments.

[@SeldimSeen1]

Nice biography and his accomplishments are great. However, the title is misleading. Yuzuru Hanyu is the "Figure Skater who brought Athleticism to Artistry." Even Nathan would agree with that.

[@divinearia1601]

Every time Nathan is given credit for something, Yuzuru fans always claim Yuzuru does it better. Sorry, but who is the quad king here? Who is known for his athleticism? It's not Yuzuru. Even Yuzuru fans claim Nathan does nothing except jump, that he's a "jock" on the ice, yet, now some of you are going to claim Yuzuru as the athletic one too? Bunch of clowns.

[@shiowmeychiao3325]

Yuzuru was the best before 2018, Nathan has replaced Yuzuru as the best figure skater ever since. You just have to compare Yuzuru’s performances between 2018 and 2022, he certainly has regressed to a less quality skater both athletically and artistically..

[@Jude74]

His skating is nowhere near the level it was prior to 2018. Injury after injury has taken a toll and frankly at the two minute mark of all his longs he turns into a ragdoll and is nowhere near as good as the other Japanese men on his team much less Nathan. Enough with the delusion we’re all sick if it.

[@qsmooth7805]

Make one on Marvin Gaye

[@gordanagarment2713]

Maybe Nathan has a chance at the next Olympic games, only because Yuzuru is not interested.

[@divinearia1601]

It's a bit sad that some Yuzu fans are so obsessed in the worshipping of their idol that they're being blinded from being realistic and objective. Right. Since Nathan has been beating Yuzu the past several years, the only reason why he'll maybe even have a chance in the Olympics is because Yuzu isn't interested. Makes so much sense :/
