A MORE RECENT INTERVIEW WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT HIS FAVORITE THINGS:
(02/24/2011) - When not skating, showman Chen hits the ivory keys.
At age 11, Nathan Chen is the only skater to ever win back-to-back U.S. novice titles. The diminutive dynamo from Salt Lake City will move up to the U.S. junior ranks for the 2011-12 season, bringing his showmanship and precise triple jump technique with him. He's already been an ABC World News Person of the Week.
"He enjoys attention," says Chen's coach, former Soviet pairs skater Genia Chernyshova.
