Yep, this next group of skaters coming up will probably be doing a lot of quads since they will have grown up during the quad revolution.

I agree. I lots of current skaters need to work on improving their artistry. I was looking at the component scores at the Olympics for the men and it was interesting. Vincent Zhou got a 79.92, Nathan got a 87.44 and Jin got 85.76. While Yuzu and Javi both scored over 96, that's a huge difference.

Yuzu and Javi have a little more experience. I bet Zhou, Chen, and Jin could improve.

They are more experienced. Their coach Brian Orser also puts an emphasis on things like skating skills and not just jumping. Shoma is another one who usually scores over 90 in the component scores. I know Jin has been trying to work on his artistry but people think he is still underscored. I just hope the jumpers don't ignore those components skills and just focus on technical content.

I agree. To be a complete skater, they need both

Agreed. It is definitely possible to be both.
Yes Happy 19th Birthday to Nathan!! __________________

I just hope it'll work out with college and all. It'll be hard to do it all.

Yep I hope so too. Nathan was in the audience of Dancing with the Stars last night. I guess he was supporting Adam and Mirai.

It really was. I recently read that after the Olympics Nathan and his coach were having disagreements at the Olympics.

It really isn't. Apparently Nathan didn't to change his planned jumps in the short program the day of the short program at the Olympics against his coach's advice. They said maybe someone is his family might have suggested it. Which does explain why what happened in the short program happened. I have a feeling whatever was going on is probably fixed seeing as everything seemed ok at World's.

Yes they did. It seemed whatever problem they may have had they worked it out. Nathan has been with Raf since he was 11 years old so I'm sure disagreements happen.
