And given Nathan Chen is the Olympic champion, teaching might not be so farfetched after all. His performance at the Beijing Winter Olympics left everyone mesmerized and rewarded him with his first-ever Olympic gold.

After the Olympics, the 22-year-old figure skater has become the most talked-about sports celebrity in America. He was showered with much-deserving attention wherever he went. However, then followed the sad news of his withdrawal just before the World Figure Skating Championship.
