Nathan is not only an Olympic gold medalist ... he’s an accomplished pianist who also plays the guitar and he’s a student at Yale with a double major ... I feel like I need a re-do, but I couldn’t be prouder of this young man! He really is a “Rocketman”!😽🚀🥇
Yes, I agree that Nathan is really a "Rocketman"! Both the left and the right sides of his brain are so balanced - the artistic side and the logical side having Statistics and Data Science as Nathan's double major at Yale University! What an amazing gentleman!!!
He’s genuine, honest & grounded, never spoke as if he’s above all or knows all after winning the gold. These reporters should stop placing these weighty directed non-sport issues to the accomplished young athletes & let them celebrate with liberty. Truth will prevail. We all will face God some day.
Nathan's ovation to Yuzu is trully the best sportmanship ever! He is so humble and so unique and knows he is the best, but he is not afraid to acknowledge the greatness of yuzu. I love Nathan Chen!! I am only sad that we never got to see a clean head to head between these two. I wish I would have a seen a competition where both had clean skates. That would have been sooo freaking cool!
Hopefully we will get to see them head to head at Worlds next month! I don't know if both of them are planning to compete there, but I certainly hope so.
@@elisabethanderson7124 I am almost certain that yuzu wont be competing at worlds. I mean he has one more chance to land the quad in competition, so this might be a chance for him, but I dont know. This olympics were never about winning for yuzu. He went in coachless, with a jump that nobody else has landed... If feel like he came to the olympics to try and do history with the jump. Even if he did not win, landing that jump at the freaking olympics would have been better than winning.
Right. Nathan knows he's the greatest male skater since 2018 and really, the greatest of all time. It's just proper and professional to not say that about yourself. I think Hanyu only defeated Nathan twice in his career, and never in the last four years. No skater past or present can skate Nathan's programs jump for jump. Because of that, each time he takes the ice he makes history. Not only does he own the SP, LP and total score world records, but he owns 5 of the top 6 total program scores of all time, 7 of the top ten scores over 300, and the top four LP scores. With regard to your comment about never seeing a clean head-to-head between him and Hanyu, giving Hanyu his due respect, the reason for that is because (as NBC stated at '21 Worlds) Hanyu has not skated two clean programs back-to-back with all +GOE and full rotation on all his jumping passes since 2015. Everyone remembers Hanyu's injury in '17, so perhaps that only exacerbated things for him. In contrast, Nathan has skated many back-to-back clean programs, such as at the '19 Worlds, '19 GPF, and many others. Even his two Olympic programs here had no deductions or negative GOE on any element.
Nathan is not only talented but articulate and humble. He embodies the ideals of theOlympics. He is a national treasure. Makes me proud to be an American!! Congrats!!!
So proud of Nathan Chen..i am also a person from immigrant parents from China and they came to the US so we could have the opportunities to be successful along with the freedom to pursue greatness....Congratulations
I am so genuinely happy for Nathan, what a joy to see his Olympic dream come true! His performance was amazing! And if I can be this happy, being only a fan who has never even met him, imagine how this must feel to his family who has stood by his side and supported him throughout his career. So congrats not only to the Olympic champ himself, but also to his family, friends and coaches!
Congrat to all us common people enjoying the even more precious prize of freedom for every one living in America...the chinese athletes will not get this prize of freedom even if the chinese athletes had won the gold medal.
Exactly, as an ardent Nathan fan I can say how great athlete and person Shoma is ! I remember him talking about Nathan and what a class it was ... Yuma is fantastic too ....
Nathan Chen is the rocketman on ice, but he didn't go off on the baiting questions that are heavily political (leave it to cnn) or controversial. He's brilliant on and off the ice. Congratulations Nathan Chen. You are so deserving (that's an understatement).
Nathan truly is a humble, gracious athlete, artist and champion!! His acknowledgment and respect of how amazing Yuzuru is was so admirable! Much respect to you Nathan!❤️👍🏽
Standing ovation for NATHAN CHEN 陈巍. 2022 Beijing Olympic Gold Medal!!! What an amazing Skater，Athlete and Artist. Chinese-American are so proud of you 美籍华人之光!!!
What a fine young man. A testament to the can-do attitude of an American. Thank you for you patriotism. What a great example of a humble winner! Congratulations Nathan. You deserve your success! We are proud
Congrats Nathan. A true champion: respectful, eloquent and most importantly a fun-loving person! Look forward to seeing you achieving more and keep enjoying what you love.
His performance made me feel like he made another genre in figure skating. Anyone will be drawn to his performance and how creative it is. I like he knows how to perform with music so well♥️
Nathan is the most gracious sportsman, generous, and takes part in causes. But most of all, he is brilliant, dazzlingly amazing on the ice. Shoma and Yuma are adorable and showed great sports.
Congratulations, Nathan!!! So inspiring and eloquent! Thank you for being such great sportsman and continue to inspire more young athletes of the future.
Congrats to Nathan. Also, the reporters that were trying to bate him into talking bad about China should be ashamed. He just won the gold medal and now they are trying to get him into trouble? Come on man!
Congrats Nathan, Yuma, and Shoma! Always well spoken and interesting to listen to. I understand that this is USA Today so they want to focus on Nathan, but they really shouldn't call it a "full press conference" if they're going to cut out Shoma and Yuma's questions and answers. Just saying.
Come on, the media , we are here to celebrate these amazing athletes ( I wish yuzuru is here too), don’t ask those shady questions that no one who watches Olympics cares. Go Nathan! So proud of you , no matter what you are studying in Yale, you will leave much bigger impact in this world than an Olympic champion can be.
I hate the question the CNN reporter asked. The thing going on in Chinese social media has nothing to do with Nathan. It is about other athletes. How can you assume he knows anything about it? If he doesn't know, how he could give you an answer. Nathan is, without a doubt, a huge inspiration for the Chinese American community. We are so proud of him!
Me think the chinese reporter wanted to steal some credit for the ccp, asking Nathan question in mandarin...trying to remind people of Nathan's root...Nathan so far exhibits integrity by remaining with the USA team instead of joining the chinese team...i am sure the ccp already tried to entice him to jump ship given his past impressive achievements.
@@Grizzlyx9 But the endless Asian hate in the US. My gosh, I see old asian grandmas being pushed around, get thrown in front of trains, beaten up, shouted at with racial slurs. I think Asian Americans get pushed around enough, they will eventually go to the other side.
Such an inspiring role model for the youth. Great guy on and off the ice. I hope he does not retire yet and sticks around to defend his National and World title before exiting.
I just read an article that said Andrei Mozalev was getting death wishes from Yuzuru Hanyu fans ! Hanyu fans believe Mozalev is responsible for making a hole in the ice !! Fans, apart from the accusations of deliberately creating a hole in the ice, also accused him of appearing next to the Japanese too often and disturbing his warm-up !
@@noran7809 if that’s the case then he should be able to do the same jump clean the so called a hole caused him not able to take off. He did the same jump on his FS and fell hard and I mean hard fall. So his fans need to stop making excuses for every mistakes he made. This is a call for being a true fans. More like a big Fcken lunatic and can’t see that your idol is getting old and his time is up . Instead of courage him to take care of his health and move on to the next chapter of his life. No matter what he does or want to keep on skating he will not be able to compete with the younger skaters. Nathan himself say the same thing that soon he will be too old to compete with the youngster and he have to retired as well. That’s why he’s attending college and move on to the next chapter of his life
Nathan, we are extremely proud of you, we always believed in you this day came true, he is brilliant, talented, a nice young man, can not wait to see what brings you next.
I like how well Nathan handled the more pointed questions from the reporters, particularly the several about the doping scandal. What did they want him to say, " Yeah, I want the Russian team disqualified, so I can win another gold medal."?
I know. Those are great questions, just not for Nathan. Like he's going to trash fellow olympians or trash China for their poor accommodations for the athletes 😁
It's stupid, too, because if you know anything about American cultural ideals, particularly those around sports and sporting, you will understand that we love to win, but we do not love to win like THIS. We have a (misguided, but still) deep, cultural belief in our own moral superiority (for better or for worse). This is why, when our athletes are caught doping (Lance Armstrong, anyone?), we turn on them instantly for shaming us rather than defending them to the death (like Russians do when their athletes dope, for example). The fact that our athletes dope as much as the next guy is irrelevant, because we know that they aren't participating in systemic, state-sanctioned doping, so that makes us "better than." I have a problem with all of it, frankly, but you're never going to catch someone like Nathan Chen with a question like that, because his actual, and to be fair, HONEST answer will ALWAYS be that it's not up to him, doping is bad, but he just waits for the authorities to decide. Because for Americans and American athletes, it is ingrained in us from our earliest moments that a win is not legitimate if we had to wheel and deal (or worse, to cheat) to get it. At least, not publicly.
Nathan's Rocketman routine is up on the Olympic channel but they cut the ending short when Nathan's huge smile came across his face and he celebrated skating off because he knew he nailed it! That was the capper imo - I hope someone else uploads it or they upload a big longer version showing his joy at the end because he was having SO much fun- as were we watching him! The music medley arrangement is incredible picked from both the movie versions of Yellow Brick Road, Rocketman with Bennie and the Jets (Logic's remix). Just go watch it. Then watch it again. 🚀🚀👏👏 He has a landing right when Rocketman crescendos and it's UNREAL.
You lit the Olympic Flame for this American.. You worked so hard as well as all your peers to be in Beijing. I'm so glad some politicians who thought we should not have attended did not have their way... Typical of insensitive politicians they fail to take account the human factor... I hope you and all your Olympic peers have a great time in Beijing...Your efforts have I'm sure uplifted the world who care to share all your dreams and encourage goodness in this seemingly tired world. Thank you..
Nathan Chen, you are my hero in 2022. Am glad, I have an Asian man as my hero. Someone looking like myself as an Asian man in 2022. God bless you, Nathan Chen. Peace be us all. You said you will be a gold medallist in 2022. I cried with such joyed and happiness when every time you skates. You artists Blew me away. So graciously in the arts form. Nathan, you are my LeBron James and Madonna 2022.
So proud of all the great athletes who are pushing the human limits regardless which country they choose to represent. Wish them all good luck in their career.
Chinese people are happy for and proud of him, too. We won't call him disgrateful, and don't question him about his nationality, although anyone who don't know him will consider him Asian, if not Chinese, by his lappearance. Great job!💕💕💕
The hate towards the Chinese -American athletes is just so ridiculous . Why do people always pick a group of people to crap on? Does that make them feel better about themselves ?
Nathan Chen is wonderful young man! Really proud of you! The reporter (CNN) try to drag athlete into politic , always interested about controversial! Why you guys always enjoy to see people be divided and fight each other? Why not you guys see people be unified and happy!
Great sportsmanship of Nathan Chen! He didn't have to recognize Hanyu who has been on a losing streak to Nathan since 2018. But Nathan did even Fanyus have been very mean to him !
I agree. Nathan is so humble and well-rounded. I love yuzu, too, but fanyus are just unbearably annoying and some, even boarder-line sociopathic, which always makes the comment section under Nathan’s videos really unbearable. It’s good that this one remained civil, at lease for now.
I know. Delusional fanyus always making everything about Hanyu. Always discrediting Nathan. They're so delusional that when reading some of their comments, they still believe that Hanyu should've still won. Crazy people
@@Gemini530 You’re being very hypocritical! You’re being rude about Yuzu’s fans. How are we delusional? Let’s get one thing straight, Yuzu, even though he came fourth, is the only other skater other than those 3 that have been mentioned several times. As good as Nathan is, he will never be called the GOAT, never ever. Yuzu’s career as a competitive skater is coming to an end, please show him the respect he so richly deserves. This is not the way for you to rejoice in Nathan’s gold medal win. I’m not one if Nathan’s fans but I’d like to say congratulations to him on winning the gold medal.
@Lynda Fay ... How am I hypocritical and rude? I'm only telling the truth. You delusional fanyus have been discrediting Nathan. Always insinuating that he does not deserve his victories. That it should be Hanyu every time Nathan beats Hanyu. And thank goodness Hanyu's career is over. Hopefully, we don't see you fanyus anymore. The GOAT is the one who holds records, and that is Nathan, not Hanyu. Only fanyus would insist that Hanyu is GOAT, but the truth is, it's Nathan. Hanyu's been losing to Nathan in the last 4 years. Nathan is the new GOAT. Hanyu is a has been.
Bravo Nathan Chen forget the Nay sayers & the prejudices .You are an Chinese a American gold Medalist you are absolutely stunning skating we love you .
Seriously! CNN being totally obnoxious!!! 😡 Nathan has worked SO hard over his lifetime for this and he JUST won! They want to immediately drag him into the political/social mess!! I’m not ignoring that there are real challenges, but let him and us have a moment of celebration and happiness outside of the madness! Many of us Americans and I dare say most (the news does not show us) absolutely DO NOT have any kind of hatred toward Asians or any other people group. Don’t try to use our beloved champion Nathan at such a special moment to try to recover your crappy ratings!!!😡 😡
I know right. He had already got so much hate from the Chinese natives. I’m Chinese so I have read a ton of negative comments on him. He is humiliated on Chinese social media at every aspect on a daily basis, from his costume to his appearance, from his style to his skating skills. They even called him a cheater because they believe his high scores can only be tribute to his American nationality. It all started with Nathan commenting on the Xinjiang problem and about how the Chinese government was treating the Uyghurs in an interview, though the Chinese officials never really reacted to that, the Chinese social media just exploded and immediately branded him an ass-licking American and China-hater. On top of that, the Chinese fanyus were more than happy to push the hate towards Nathan even forward. So my heart really missed a beat when I heard the CNN reporter asked Nathan about the criticism from the Chinese netizens. Thank god Nathan dodged that bullet and answered with grace. I just cannot see another wave of Nathan hate from my people.
America's value is more than just some gold medals....i really think in spite of all his hard work and money spent...he values the freedom of being an American more than any gold medal. All Americans have won gold medal ...Nathan is just icing on the cake ! Great job Nathan !
But the Asian hate is true though. During the height of COVID in 2020, lot Asian Americans, especially elderly grandmas got pushed around, shoved on the street, get pushed in front of a metro train, 6 murdered prostitutes in Atlanta, a grandma get beaten up in San Francisco, an Asian kid got beaten up in the subway train, and so many more. Asian hate crime climbed 200% during 2020 - 2021. It was sad to see why they even pick on poor helpless elderlies most importantly.
He is absolutely a Chinese-American. And an American. Being one does not preclude the other. Please don't try to erase a part of his cultural identity. That does a disservice to everyone who is multicultural.
Congratulations to all three athletes.!! So tired of journalists who try to politicize, incite controversy and for propaganda(Chinese reporter) 😱 STOP IT ALREADY. The athletes exhibited professionalism. Kudos to Mr.Chen, Mr.Kagiyama, and Mr.Uno = good answers, bravo !!
Nathan is not only an Olympic gold medalist ... he’s an accomplished pianist who also plays the guitar and he’s a student at Yale with a double major ... I feel like I need a re-do, but I couldn’t be prouder of this young man! He really is a “Rocketman”!😽🚀🥇
Yes, I agree that Nathan is really a "Rocketman"! Both the left and the right sides of his brain are so balanced - the artistic side and the logical side having Statistics and Data Science as Nathan's double major at Yale University! What an amazing gentleman!!!
Beyond awestruck at this man 😱🙌🏻
Wow! Thanks for the info on Nathan’s life
He's incredible, and major in Data Science and Statistics. Not easy majors. I hope he gets some rest.
Yeah. He is Chinese. I hope next winter olympics he represents his motherland.
Nathan Chen is a true legend, a well-rounded gentleman, a true hero. Congrats!
He’s genuine, honest & grounded, never spoke as if he’s above all or knows all after winning the gold. These reporters should stop placing these weighty directed non-sport issues to the accomplished young athletes & let them celebrate with liberty. Truth will prevail. We all will face God some day.

With regard to your comment about never seeing a clean head-to-head between him and Hanyu, giving Hanyu his due respect, the reason for that is because (as NBC stated at '21 Worlds) Hanyu has not skated two clean programs back-to-back with all +GOE and full rotation on all his jumping passes since 2015. Everyone remembers Hanyu's injury in '17, so perhaps that only exacerbated things for him. In contrast, Nathan has skated many back-to-back clean programs, such as at the '19 Worlds, '19 GPF, and many others. Even his two Olympic programs here had no deductions or negative GOE on any element.

What an awesome program He delivered so well
Shoma seems to love Nathan and they all love Yuzu. That camaraderie is so cute
Nathan Chen presents USA very well.
Красавчик Чен!
Это другой уровень..
Nathan is the best 🔥!
Chinese people are happy for and proud of him, too. We won't call him disgrateful, and don't question him about his nationality, although anyone who don't know him will consider him Asian, if not Chinese, by his lappearance. Great job!💕💕💕
Бравоооооо Натан , настоящий чимпион.
Congratulations!
Go TEAM USA!!!
you are so humble
I can't even find Chen‘s video in China. Our government won't let us watch a Chinese American win, but they hype Up Gu.Its ridiculous
He’s perfect!
Congratulations! 🥳🥳🥳 the King 🤴👑
The hate towards the Chinese -American athletes is just so ridiculous . Why do people always pick a group of people to crap on? Does that make them feel better about themselves ?
GTFOH witht his bull🤡
Nathan ♥️you so cool💖💖💖
Scott Hamilton said it best: "It's your time"; and it is ! So happy for him - success is the best revenge :-)
Very proud of you, my hero
Nathan Chen is wonderful young man! Really proud of you! The reporter (CNN) try to drag athlete into politic , always interested about controversial! Why you guys always enjoy to see people be divided and fight each other? Why not you guys see people be unified and happy!
Great sportsmanship of Nathan Chen! He didn't have to recognize Hanyu who has been on a losing streak to Nathan since 2018. But Nathan did even Fanyus have been very mean to him !
I agree. Nathan is so humble and well-rounded. I love yuzu, too, but fanyus are just unbearably annoying and some, even boarder-line sociopathic, which always makes the comment section under Nathan’s videos really unbearable. It’s good that this one remained civil, at lease for now.
I know. Delusional fanyus always making everything about Hanyu. Always discrediting Nathan. They're so delusional that when reading some of their comments, they still believe that Hanyu should've still won. Crazy people
Insecure, delusional, even boarder-line sociopathic.... :)
@@Gemini530 You’re being very hypocritical! You’re being rude about Yuzu’s fans. How are we delusional? Let’s get one thing straight, Yuzu, even though he came fourth, is the only other skater other than those 3 that have been mentioned several times. As good as Nathan is, he will never be called the GOAT, never ever. Yuzu’s career as a competitive skater is coming to an end, please show him the respect he so richly deserves. This is not the way for you to rejoice in Nathan’s gold medal win. I’m not one if Nathan’s fans but I’d like to say congratulations to him on winning the gold medal.
@Lynda Fay ... How am I hypocritical and rude? I'm only telling the truth. You delusional fanyus have been discrediting Nathan. Always insinuating that he does not deserve his victories. That it should be Hanyu every time Nathan beats Hanyu. And thank goodness Hanyu's career is over. Hopefully, we don't see you fanyus anymore. The GOAT is the one who holds records, and that is Nathan, not Hanyu. Only fanyus would insist that Hanyu is GOAT, but the truth is, it's Nathan. Hanyu's been losing to Nathan in the last 4 years. Nathan is the new GOAT. Hanyu is a has been.
I think the reporters ask the most ridiculous questions. Congratulations to Nathan! Stop politicizing everything.
Bravo Nathan Chen forget the Nay sayers & the prejudices .You are an Chinese a American gold Medalist you are absolutely stunning skating we love you .
Seriously! CNN being totally obnoxious!!! 😡 Nathan has worked SO hard over his lifetime for this and he JUST won! They want to immediately drag him into the political/social mess!! I’m not ignoring that there are real challenges, but let him and us have a moment of celebration and happiness outside of the madness! Many of us Americans and I dare say most (the news does not show us) absolutely DO NOT have any kind of hatred toward Asians or any other people group. Don’t try to use our beloved champion Nathan at such a special moment to try to recover your crappy ratings!!!😡 😡
I know right. He had already got so much hate from the Chinese natives. I’m Chinese so I have read a ton of negative comments on him. He is humiliated on Chinese social media at every aspect on a daily basis, from his costume to his appearance, from his style to his skating skills. They even called him a cheater because they believe his high scores can only be tribute to his American nationality. It all started with Nathan commenting on the Xinjiang problem and about how the Chinese government was treating the Uyghurs in an interview, though the Chinese officials never really reacted to that, the Chinese social media just exploded and immediately branded him an ass-licking American and China-hater. On top of that, the Chinese fanyus were more than happy to push the hate towards Nathan even forward. So my heart really missed a beat when I heard the CNN reporter asked Nathan about the criticism from the Chinese netizens. Thank god Nathan dodged that bullet and answered with grace. I just cannot see another wave of Nathan hate from my people.
Those political hacks from CNN don't care. They probably don't even know what event Nathan won.
America's value is more than just some gold medals....i really think in spite of all his hard work and money spent...he values the freedom of being an American more than any gold medal. All Americans have won gold medal ...Nathan is just icing on the cake ! Great job Nathan !
CNN being CNN, nothing unexpected.
But the Asian hate is true though. During the height of COVID in 2020, lot Asian Americans, especially elderly grandmas got pushed around, shoved on the street, get pushed in front of a metro train, 6 murdered prostitutes in Atlanta, a grandma get beaten up in San Francisco, an Asian kid got beaten up in the subway train, and so many more. Asian hate crime climbed 200% during 2020 - 2021. It was sad to see why they even pick on poor helpless elderlies most importantly.
He is not Chinese-American. He is an American. Great job Nathan in diplomatically answering some of these questions.
He is absolutely a Chinese-American. And an American. Being one does not preclude the other. Please don't try to erase a part of his cultural identity. That does a disservice to everyone who is multicultural.
Chinese? He enters China without a visa?
Congratulations to all three athletes.!! So tired of journalists who try to politicize, incite controversy and for propaganda(Chinese reporter) 😱 STOP IT ALREADY. The athletes exhibited professionalism. Kudos to Mr.Chen, Mr.Kagiyama, and Mr.Uno = good answers, bravo !!
I love how the younger generation is still loving Elton John's "Rocketman" in 2022.
Yes my hero
I hate those so called Journalists asking stupid or even inappropriate questions just to trick these young athletes.
That was fake news CNN, sir!
His answers are very thought out and considerate.
