Nathan Chen Interview at 2011 Nationals

interviewed by former World and Olympic medalist, Peter Carruthers after he won his second US National Novice Men's title in Greensboro, NC this February. Nathan is probably the most talented young skater in the world at the moment and will be interesting to see how he progresses toward his goal of 2018 Olympic Games

[@debraenderle4737]

And 11 years later, he's the Olympic Champion!

[@aalegalfocus]

Back watching this again in 2022 after Nathan won the gold at the Olympics!! Congrats to Nathan on his hard work paying off!

[@Rossi092]

OMG .................... 11 years after, he's an Olympic champion. Wow. That's amazing

[@thomashudsan2103]

Nathan is sounded like such a smart kid. Today he is world champion and Gold medalist of the Winter Olympics in 2022. Who could imagine, Unbelievable?

[@nancy9891]

Gifted children are truly different. He’s an accomplished pianist as well. They are driven by an internal energy most people don’t have.

[@Person-mh6xq]

So true!

[@JohnLau256]

US is a land of opportunity (for the hard working and for the gifted).

[@MsPENUEL]

EXACTLY 10 YEARS AFTER, HE BECAME AN OLYMPIC CHAMPION.

[@FANguyen]

I don't know why I cannot continue watching this kid until the end of the vid because he is toooo cute. I am serious.

[@olegrostov9722]

King of Figure Skating ! 👑 Olympic Gold Medalist ! 👑

[@skippyhippo]

[@yenchenliu6636]

kippyhippo 6 types ygm

[@judith.1gb]

he is the world champion Olympic gold medalist now

[@divinearia1601]

How is he so humble, honest, and disciplined at such a young age? I don't recall myself or my siblings ever being anything like that at that age, wow. Even as adults, some of us still can't compare to 11-year-old Nathan.

[@matchapr]

He is so adorable

[@thesmartiestone]

Congratulations to Nathan Gold medalist Olympics 2022 Awesome

[@krisfujimoto72]

What maturity and discipline. Unreal!

[@doglovetiger]

And 6years later, he did it! Senior champion at the age of 17, with a record-breaking score and breath-taking programs. Absolutely love it!

[@chrissya9994]

And now the Olympic Gold Champion! Love his work ethics!

[@user-wu4jq1ki1h]

His dream comes true. You got it!

[@topoftheworld.7082]

Very mature for a an eleven year old . I m Very happy for him to get a gold medal.

[@helenfong3339]

Such a cute kid! I hope he will be in the 2026 Olympics!! :)

[@ML-lp8jw]

I love that he said I use an HTC phone which is also great! Honest and grateful.

[@barbarapakalania6712]

Darn I use to have a HTC

[@JohnLau256]

At that time, HTC was a good quality phone. In contrary, I don't have a lot of good experience with the AT &T mobile network.

[@OkhotskDriftingIce]

My god in 2011 I also had an HTC smart phone aha

[@user-cl5cv4ep4r]

Adorable

[@avivaguo4312]

Such a nice boy❤️

[@noelchua2954]

He had no idea the kid was gonna be an olympic champion

[@eqchannel5775]

And now (2022) 11 years after, he's an Olympic champion. Wow. That's amazing!

[@moonbrown6811]

He made it.

[@fab42355]

And he keeps going 100%

[@dragonboy718]

hahaha, he is looking at the reporter like, stop askin those silly questions, lol!

[@hanwin651]

So cute !

[@painttheworld7376]

such a good interviewer with great questions. Love Nathan, adorable is simply not enough for this boy ♥

[@smurfiennes]

The interviewer is very annoying. Nathan is small and young, but not stupid. His questions are too simple for a little guy who’s so focus and determined like him. Even at the end when Nathan is thanking him politely, his answer is ‘got it’???

[@shineluvslambiel]

he's adorbs!!

[@Jude74]

Olympic Champ!!!

[@d8ngdel]

Finally, a 🥇in #BeijingWinterOlympics2022 for the QUad King #NathanChen. Congrats!

[@the_piano_diva]

This aged well🥰

[@AndrewTsui-rg3bt]

Work hard and success will follow you. (Chinese proverb). Congratulations to Nathan, you earned it. 😍😜💯👍🙏💪

[@canyoubelieve2167]

He is just too cute!!!!!

[@mrl6956]

What a divine kid !

[@aalegalfocus]

great interview. nice to see these past videos of Nathan Chen!

[@shinymensdressshoes]

Peter asks such silly questions (eg., are you skating because you feel good or do you just want to win a championship?) What a dumb question!! "So you never quit do you?" (Of course not, you idiot!). "What do you take out of this championship?" "Maybe a junior or senior title?" Do you think you can do that?" How can anyone answer such stupid questions??

[@user-hj4lg2ws1r]

Сегодня он стал чемпионом, с Победой Чен🥇🥇🥇

[@iceskatinggirl11]

He used to train at the rink I used to train at. It was so amazing to watch him. We are the same age, (both 12 now) and he started about 4-5 years before I did. And when he skates, he FOCUSES. Hope to be able to compete against him one day :)

[@22.7a5]

CreatetoDestroy and now he is an Olympian so i doubt you will compete against him. First person to land 5 quads in one program

[@noran7809]

And now He is the World Champion !

[@dariayush3100]

and now he is the three time world champion

[@amiratazkia]

now he’s biggest rival of Yuzuru Hanyu (who was dominating)👏 currently unbeatable by anyone from the last couple of years

[@pervysage4934]

and now he's an Olympic gold medalist

[@michellet1800]

This reporter is lame. Nathan has such Grace.

[@diana9martin6]

he shares year month and day with me!

[@user-fw4sn7ri4x]

Олимпийский чемпион, молодец

[@RUBY-ORUCA]

ミニミニ・ネイサン～～！かわいいのにしっかりしてる

[@oxanasf6369]

3:43 "Maybe a Junior title, maybe senior title?" 2022 Maybe Olympic gold? Or two?

[@divinearia1601]

What about several world championships and GPF titles? What about dominating the rest of the other skaters for 4 straight years and breaking all kinds of world records?

[@tonynavaro4488]

THE INTERVIEWER RUNNING OUT OF QUESTIONS & REPEATS SAME QUESTIONS TWICE. INTERVIEWING JOB SHOULD HAVE GIVEN TO SOMEBODY ELSE

[@claired3454]

Not a good interviewer. Still, Nathan answered well. Very cute! 🥰

[@ritaparker7814]

That interviewer is terrible and a real jerk and so many dumb questions and remarks !! Poor Nathan dealing with him....

[@bachaterra]

That guy doesn't know how to interact with kids. Not that I would've done a better job, though I am not a reporter or journalist lol but I guess he should've prepared. Questions were kinda duh

[@kaluga95]

😀👍🏻🏒⛸🤸🏻🩰📱 Bravoo Nathan 🇨🇳🌎🇺🇸🗽🥇 lg aus Wien - Österreich 🌏🇪🇺🇦🇹☕️🍰 2022 😷⛸

[@SPARTANLAZZER]

[@aliericia]

[@dragonboy718]

DOESNT KNOW HOW TO SPEAK TO A 11 YO GENIUS!

[@sandrarubin9278]

Sweet lil guy looks a bit embarrassed

[@corabrann8178]

神童🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@yeeyeevonss7878]

Present, Olympic only allow athletes over 17

[@rbgrant1759]

[@yongchangyu8406]

Cup to cup,but like pancakes.stock marketing!

[@MeimeiLovesmusic]

Horrible interviewer!!! Quit your job and let someone else do it!

[@da.5489]

what a creepy interviewer!

[@harrypotter101999]

ya i kinda hate him

[@ravelandexplorewitharnold]

努力可加。。。 但为了美国而努力。。。贻笑大方！！！ 在我所在的国家很多人在国外很多人却为祖国而战！！！ 而你。。。哈哈哈！！！ 可笑！！！

[@lindazager]

他出生在国外，也没有接受过中国的教育，美国才是他的祖国。

[@liweizou4286]

他是美国人，出生/成长/训练/学习全在美国，代表美国比赛有问题？而且他是为自己努力，美国又没有长期的国家队一说。只在赛前积分选拔代表美国参加比赛的选手。

[@EnCihCat]

就有你這類人華裔才會被排擠，吃裡扒外，入籍宣誓當空氣。

[@VivaInSight]

Why do you have such a screen name?

[@amygao9593]

哈哈，你太可笑了。
