"You think this is about a quad?" Nathan Chen fluff?
« on: June 08, 2018, 01:44:24 PM »
Anyone record the Olympic commericals? I was hoping someone would upload stuff on youtube, but no such luck.  You can see I'm not the only one who remembers this commercial.

I think this commercial was played right before Nathan's disastrous short program. But I LOVED it because the commercial showed how much hard work figure skating is and how all those years of training is bottled down into one split-second quad that everyone judges you by.

I was hoping someone would have recorded it and uploaded it. But it seems like hardly anything from the Olympics was uploaded, while tons of stuff from pretty much every other competition has been uploaded. Either this year's Olympics wasn't very popular compared to previous years, or NBC really cracked down on recorders this year.

Noooo... the commercial spot I'm talking about specifically included the line "So you think this is about a quad?" several times and showed intense training in-between. There were many different commercials played of Nathan during the Olympics, but that one stuck in my mind.

That commercial you picked out was played during the Super Bowl, not the Olympics.

Didn't see either, sorry.  Maybe it wasn't a commercial, perhaps it was a skater profile piece?  (Aka: fluff piece)

You had a long wait to find it, didn't you?  ;)

I liked that one too. It's good to see it online.
