Three years ago, his performance made me feel nothing to see. Three years later, I have to say that he has made great progress. I think he skates well. In this case, anyone will, at least I won't ruin his performance. Maybe he didn't present the traditional graceful flower slip, but his performance was ornamental and very powerful, especially the smooth jump was full of power. He also slipped out of his own style. Flower skating is trying to show your sports in the competition, which can be said to be an art competition. Nathan Chen can add his own ideas to the competition and show his strength aesthetics, which is worth popularizing, and it also makes figure skating more comprehensive, not just unilateral.
It is indisputable that Nathan Chen's jump shot is not as good as Yuzuru Hanyu's. But I don't agree that Nathan Chen's jumping level is inferior to that of Yuzuru Hanyu. At least they have their own advantages in technology. One is that the dance is perfect but the number is a little small, and the other is that the variety is complete but not perfect. Yuzuru Hanyu is a skating genius. He was born for skating, and Nathan Chen, a former wise tiger, said that he used his excellent abilities in skating. And in the competition, Nathan Chen uses different tactics in each program, which not only shows his deep difficulty pool, but also shows that he or the coaching team behind him can formulate adaptable and successful competition tactics according to his technical advantages, instead of just sliding into the elimination of a program with the same difficulty.
To sum up, Nathan Chen showed all his strength in the competition, on the one hand, his competitive spirit, on the other hand, his understanding of flower slip, which is very unique and worth popularizing.
