QUOTES BY Nathan Chen


It's crazy how fast time flies and how things progress.

Never give up. There are always tough times, regardless of what you do in anything in life. Be able to push through those times and maintain your ultimate goal.

Every day's a new day.

Every day is a new day, and ultimately, I have to figure out what works each day.

Like my parents taught me, never give up, and always love what you do.

I remember being a little kid walking down the grocery aisle seeing athletes on these cereal boxes.

When I watch my skating when I was younger, I definitely see all this balletic movement and this artistry come through.

There's a lot of skaters that I look up to, and I think my biggest skating role models were the two Russian competitors at the 2002 Olympic games in Salt Lake City. They really motivated me to follow my passion in skating, and it really blossomed from there.

I start in the morning with something like a breakfast burrito and a smoothie, something that gives me enough protein and carbs to start my day.
