Congrats to Nathan. His hard work has certainly paid off but seriously what was Vera Wang thinking with this attire. It looks $5 + free shipping.

[@mht4908]

Lmao 🤣🤣 it was from Vera Wang? I expect so much more from her. Anyways, huge congratulations to Nathan, he finally has his Olympic moment after 2018

[@bellabana]

It looked amazing with the planet design which suited the music perfectly. I liked the fact it was masculine and not prissy like so many other men’s costumes!

[@sonaprakash6469]

@@bellabana and his last face expression is what most amazing thing✨️

[@leowithlove]

I agree

[@leowithlove]

@@bellabana wat do u mean by prissy?

[@ddzgdt]

My only regret is that he wasn't able to perform this in front of a stadium full of people! This program is just so joyful and uplifting, it brings a goofy smile to my face every time I watch it

[@job2358]

I thought that too! Can you imagine the crowd if they would have been there?

[@willythedeuce]

Was fortunate to be able to be at the 2022 nationals in Nashville. Everyone who was there were going nuts with the step sequence at the end. Just an incredible performance overall. Still get so much joy watching it a year later.

[@froggiesinthehouse]

He eventually did! Saw it (or a similar program??) live and it was amazing abhsjhsdh

[@user-jw9lq8ob2n]

he did at stars on ice it was crazy to watch

[@anthonydolio8118]

It's been awhile since I've seen this, and I forgot just how light and joyful it really was. It's unfortunate that he singled the 3F. But it didn't take away from the overall performance.

[@Jovalle30]

You can pinpoint the moments he knows he’s got the gold and let’s himself go! So joyous !

[@penniavaswen]

There is a point in the step sequence where he faces the camera again with a smile and I just flail.

[@ElizavetaPolianitskaia]

c'mon, he knew that at the worst after he saw a result of Yuzu's SP :) (all heil to the champion, no irony here!!)

[@stex5026]

1:50 the timing of the jump and music is just uncannily beautiful. I know many have said it, but I am so compelled to repeat it. What a performance!

[@user-qk4sn1ig9w]

@뀰꿀better than valieva??

[@meatyguy3294]

@뀰꿀 this is even better

[@DaphneHarridge]

It is stunningly gorgeous. I'm in tears every single time I watch it; just extraordinary!

[@carolinecooper8349]

It's truly remarkable. I love that moment too. Staggering.

[@coolcatz4159]

Yeah I loved that part so in sync with the music. I think that’s the best part of the whole routine. I also love the part from 3:22-3:27 what a transition

[@captainmarvelfan1257]

I had the honor to see him skate and meet him yesterday. He was so kind and humble to me. Thanks Nathan!

[@noran7809]

What a lucky guy!

[@7girl]

Wow where was it? New Haven?

[@captainmarvelfan1257]

@7girl Detroit tree lighting 2023

[@DMichigan]

Darn, I missed it! I live in Detroit suburb but I didn't know he was coming for the tree lighting.

[@angelamarie4137]

He was so completely in sync with the music during this entire routine. He had skated to this music before and was great, but this performance was truly outstanding.

[@moma-b]

Hard work pays off. 😎

[@sarahkrick8667]

Nathan Chen! I've watched this so many times! One of the greatest preformances I've ever seen!!!❤

[@nana-jt5or]

おめでとう！！ネイサン選手 間違いなく金メダルに値する素晴らしい演技でした　 真の王者👏👏😆

[@karenhunt3061]

Yeah: Nathan Chin is totally outstanding.

[@user-oy4ph6pl5h]

Nathan Chen is great.

[@arturo435]

1:56 absolute quad King, a lunatic who schedules, and lands, a quad Lutz for the 2nd half of his program.

[@eycsfca]

Outstanding and inspirational. This is an example of an athlete who was completely embodied in the moment.

[@user-lv5zx5pd1o]

I cry every time I watch this

[@noran7809]

An icon of bravery, charisma and cosmic skills on ice. Invincible. Irreplaceable. 🤍

[@Kocho_Hashira]

It was so satisfying to see him redeem himself after his failure in 2018. Proves that no matter what happens you can always stand up again.

[@Sam-nb1rm]

1:56 he landed exactly with the msuic. This definitely added some points. Congrats!

[@amywong9372]

This is my favorite part of the program

[@jeffersonpereira6594]

it was awesome, It's been a long time We don't see an athlete make a perfect transition with a jump since Plushenko, Nathan deserved a lot this gold medal

[@vistaprime]

@@jeffersonpereira6594 Plushenko? in which performance? Plushenko himself said he has no transitions between jumps, he focused on getting the quads done.

[@fullbarneystinsoness]

You missed the first jump then….

[@olegrostov9722]

Nathan landed the jump with the music, it was the hardest quad Lutz ! Only Chen can do it !

[@pilarsoto3784]

Me encanta Nathan Chen!!!!!

[@lauralangham9657]

He should have won a gold medal just for his music choice !

[@CarolinaDupinet]

At minute 3:10 He knew he had already won and he was just celebrating, such a joy

[@user-ev1nv5ot6g]

Это какой-то космос, вселенная, фантастика...

[@joanneolsen5635]

He was on that night! He relates to the music!

[@99txgh]

My favourite is when he let himself go at 3:22 and just had fun and danced with the music, I love that he doesn't always choose ballads

[@jas_log133]

Nathan definitely deserve the gold, he didnt deserve all the hate and rude comments in the social media and mainly focusing in his outfit. BUT WELP they probably didnt watch hisperformance cause you wouldnt even think of what his dress because it was enchanting, exciting and a sight to see!! DESERVE DESERVE

[@wolffriendinus]

His outfit matched the music! None of the other skaters had music that matched their program OR outfit.

[@mht4908]

I think what people were having the issue with was that his costume was a Vera Wang, and it looks like you could’ve gotten the same thing on eBay or Amazon for much cheaper. The costume was great for his routine, people were just shocked that it was a designer outfit

[@Agnar669]

He looked fabulous. In any case, the main thing was his outfit showed the clear lines of his graceful performance. Showing the movement, outline of the body as it moves from one movement to the next is very important in judging. Agree, his performance was brilliant. Seemed effortless, etherial. And the main thing was people were absolutely enchanted by him. He had charisma as well as the skills.

[@andria.]

I cried at Rocketman. He looked so free, like it was just him and the ice. Just goosebumps. ❤

I honestly love his attire... it looks like he is just skating in his normal clothes... it makes it seem magical.

I remember as a kid every time we went to the skating rink, he was there with his mom doing triple lutz’s like it was nothing. He would practice like crazy even when the rink opened to the public.

[@ElizavetaPolianitskaia]

3:16 or 3:28 for example (a guy waving some white stuff like it's... towelie? dunno) I mean just look at this proud-deadly-nervous Dad (для русскоязычных: поскольку Юзу решил всё сам, на время Игр почётное звание Бати перешло к Рафу)

[@nerd-jock]

his joy is so fantastic

[@CaraMarie13]

I love Nathan's skating style. Am a bit put off by a lot kf the repetative and downright depressing song choices and stories too many skaters use that capture nothing of the times they are living in. I truly appreciate Nathan for going for a different style.

[@L1623VP]

I know. I love Nathan's versatility and song choices. Too many skaters now choose songs by alternative artists that have a plodding tempo, angst-filled lyrics, and a dark tone. I know what you're talking about. So tired of those repetitive song choices from too many skaters.

Nathan is a sweetheart. Hs personally is so warm and genuine.

[@iangallagher2446]

I don't think people realize how crazy 2:10 is, if you look at his torso it's spinning continuously, but in order to keep himself skating forward, he has to quickly switch his foot between forward and backward facing

[@censoredyoutube4902]

To land the most difficult jump 4Lutz @1:54 in sync with music is incredible !
