PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Nathan Chen ?  Chen  is also among the most versatile.  His  programs seem to be a continuous work in progress â this season  he  has not performed the same long program twice  switching up  his  figure skating jumps depending on how  he  is feeling physically and compensating for any mistakes  he  may have made. Because  he  is able to execute five different quadruple jumps (not to mention their triple versions too)   he  has a range of tricks  he  can slide into  his  routines. âIâm the only skater currently who can do all five quads. So having that technical difficulty in my arsenal allows me to manipulate my program however I want during competition.â

Positive
