I....LOVE...YOU......

[@e.m.m.5626]

Nathan is such a handsome, well-spoken gentleman. Given his talent and intelligence in many areas, he has to see what the world has to offer. I’m glad he continues to skate in shows for now. Best of luck, Nathan!

[@MimiMimi-bi8gi]

Nathan' s soo cool, manly and handsome. 💜💜💜💜💜

[@cambrie7946]

This man is a national treasure. He should be protected at all costs.

[@thulekovish8188]

Handsome, easygoing, humble and brilliant. In sport, he thrives to be better than the best, always challenging, pushing himself a bit further every season. Outside the sport, the sky is the limit for Nathan Chen.

[@sarakeith2246]

Oh he’s so handsome! Oh how I love to meet him in person. Xoxo from Texas USA 🇺🇸

[@linglingto1954]

Nathan is my dream boy

[@jacquezattera1314]

What an inspiring and adorable human being! The GOAT!

[@anitayan2646]

GOAT is Hanyu Yuzuru! You can worship NC, but you can't change the fact that Yuzuru Hanyu is the GOAT of figure skating.

[@noran7809]

This video doesn't show your idol YH, so what are you doing here @Anita Yan ?

[@shiowmeychiao3325]

@@anitayan2646 Yuzuru might be your goat, but he is certainly not mine. here you go.

[@Thismeekpotato]

@@noran7809 Honestly Yuzu doesn't have to be anyone's idol to say Nathan Chen recognized as G.O.A.T ...is very debatable. Nathan Chen HIMSELF wouldn't even agree with that idea 😂😂. None of that changes how incredibly talented and phenomenally gifted Nathan is. Full stop. That's all I'll say.

[@noran7809]

Just completely agree with you, @Jacque Zattera. That's all.

[@samyoung2260]

Nathan rocks! U brought pride to the Asian community and showed how proud u were to b an American! We r humbled and grateful for representing us to the world and u r always well spoken and dignified!

[@sophiafeng9283]

Best wishes to you on your return to Yale. Hope that you will continue to skate as you are truly an inspiration to younger skaters. You have shown how dedication and hard work can be rewarded. Thanks to your mom who inspired you and all the sacrifices she had made for your success.

[@WTFJapanTV]

Congratulations! And you have overcome so much. Seriously you are so good at what you do

[@maggieli7036]

I love you Nathan❤️❤️❤️ You’re such an wonderful inspiration!!😍💖🙌

[@pilarsoto3784]

Te extraño mucho!!!!

[@Gemini530]

I hope he does not quit skating yet. One more Olympic Gold please. You can still do it. That would seal the deal for you as the GOAT

[@marialuisameneghin4209]

Bravo Nathan. You had a lot of medals and now there is nosense to partecipate to every competions without all skaters of the world....infact i don't watch none of them.

[@edithmolina1422]

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con el comentario de la sra o srta Pilar Soto ,no pudo decirlo mejor él es un grande en el patinaje artístico desde niño fue prodigio en el hielo y hoy es un joven con muchas cualidades ,lo he seguido de cuando él tenía 10años así que sé como fue superándose lo demás lo dijo mi compatriota soy también chilena y me alegro por fin encontrar alguien de habla hispana refiriéndose así de Nathan Chen el genial Campeón Olímpico

[@lilingo8752]

CooI♥️😅

[@corabrann8178]

Nathan Chen you are the best because you are humble nice guy👍👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@stacywiley9252]

Nathan Chen inspiration is his mother who taking to the ice rink 24/7 to become a better man today. After winning the gold medal 🥇 in Beijing Winter Olympic games in china his closing his chapter and his next adventure and more mature as a young man today.

[@loisjackson3846]

The best I have ever seen.

[@Truthseeker12332]

It is always good to explore new things but don’t forget to explore your roots, the culture and believes and guidance your parents brought you up with.

[@etdowsett]

Nathan is an inspiration. I think he is handsome but I loved his hair before when it hung to one side. It is getting very long. Maybe for school.

[@cynthiasennese6694]

I hope everything is going well at Yale for you! No longer watching you compete makes me very sad❤

[@leix008]

Nathan, you’re such a great skater. Only if you and your Stars On Ice cast would do a skating performance to Mr. Jacky Cheung’s music of Snow Wolf Lake musical. It would be like the god of skate (that’s you) meets the god of songs (Mr. Jacky Cheung) for a history-making performance. Nathan, You won the gold medal at the same arena stadium, where Mr. Jacky Cheung held his final 100th-plus musical, Snow Wolf Lake concert performance. It is my wishful thinking that you and the cast of Stars On Ice collaborates with Mr. Jacky Cheung for a Snow Wolf Lake On Ice with Olympic champions. Just saying.

[@cyanmoxi3067]

多好的小伙子，被羽生粉丝的造谣抹黑可以载入史册了🌚

[@etdowsett]

Yes I have a son your age. He looks good with the curls falling to one side also but you need to try different things. That is part of growing.
