My training and ballet background definitely gives me the competitive edge on the ice.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
I have confidence in how I've trained and prepared myself. I've dreamed about the Olympics for a long time, and it would be kind of silly and a waste to freak myself out.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
I don't think the demographic for skating really entails a lot of basketball watching.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
Once I really understood what skating was and what the Olympic really entailed, I knew that's what I wanted to do: I wanted to be there; I wanted to represent the U.S.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
The Olympics really started motivating me from the very start. That was my dream from the very beginning.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
Triples are hard. Triple axel is just not my jump. Quads are really my thing.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
An artistic standpoint - I've watched a lot of ballet and source some inspiration from how they move, connect with each other, and find meaning in their movement.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
Being able to land all the quads, especially doing them all in one program, is mentally huge.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
Once you land a jump, you put it straight in the program. That's the way I've always been doing it.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
I am proud to be a first-generation Chinese-American in the sport of figure skating.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
Skating in itself is a difficult sport, and the amazing athletes within the sport are very challenging.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
I never got to go to prom or homecoming or a lot of the typical teenage stuff. But, if you think about it, I've gotten to go and meet different people and travel all over the world.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
I really like to bike outdoors and love the weight-based workouts that I do. I am not the biggest fan of other cardio-based workouts. Off-season cardio sessions are pretty grueling.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
If it's time to indulge, I love desserts, especially Hershey's chocolate. I also love sushi and Japanese food. Food is my favorite in general.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
We were all just taught to work as hard as we could, use these opportunities to advance, and just really appreciate all that we had.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
It's like you get a high off the jumps, and you crave it, and you want to do it again and again and again.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
In terms of, like, interviews, I used to struggle a lot with interviews; I never knew what to say.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
The Olympics have really motivated me, ever since I started skating as a little kid.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
It's been a dream of mine to be selected on the U.S. Olympic team as long as I can remember.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
I can't decide the results, but I can still put my best foot forward and try the best I can.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
My Chinese name is Chen Wei. I can speak a tiny, tiny bit, just basically get around, but I understand it decently well.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
I tend to be a little bit more quiet and just to myself. I'm a little bit more introverted than extroverted.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
I am a first-generation American of Chinese decent. My parents were both born and raised in China and moved to the U.S. in their 20s.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
There are always times when you don't want to go to the rink, or you don't want to do all the things you're supposed to do. Sometimes you're exhausted, or it's been a long week, but I always remind myself that this is my Olympic dream and the passion, because I love the sport very much.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
I've skated after Yuzu a handful of times. The only thing I can take away from it is to be prepared for the Pooh-bears to be raining down from the audience.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
Half of learning a new element is just getting over the fear of doing it. Once you mentally prepare yourself enough to do the jump, that is really half the battle.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
I've been working on it a lot, trying to find the artistic balance, trying to find purpose in my movement combined with the jumps.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
It's reassuring knowing that people are supporting me and want to know more about me. It comes with being the national champion and making the Olympic team. I think that it's telling me I'm on the right path.
Quote by -Nathan Chen
My parents always enforce the idea of never giving up upon all of my siblings and me, and I think that's something that will stick with me my whole life.
