Skater Adam Rippon Exults After a Bronze-Medal-Worthy Olympic Turn: ‘My Life Has Changed Forever’
Figure skater Adam Rippon has officially wrapped his first Olympic competitions — and he tells PEOPLE he’s likely to celebrate with a “stiff drink.”
The 28-year-old, who made history as the first openly gay man to compete for America in the Winter Games, has become the toast of Twitter in recent weeks, as much thanks to his strong showing in the skating team event as for his quick-tongued social media presence.
Hollywood, too, has taken notice, with Rippon exchanging messages with the likes of Zach Braff, Mindy Kaling, Reese Witherspoon and other stars.
But all of that — the personality-driven spotlight, the plaudits from celebrities, the thousands and thousands of retweets — is secondary to the skating, and it’s his skating that gave Rippon reason to smile.
“I came here as an athlete to show why I’m at these Olympic Games, why I was chosen for the team, why I needed to be on that team event and that’s been so important to me and that I’ve gotten to show the world who I am,” he told a ring of reporters after his free skate in the men’s event on Saturday (which aired Friday night stateside).
“I think I’m leaving showing the world that you can also have a big personality and be who you are in the process,” he said.
Yeah, you sure showed us who you are.
Rippon first drew notice on the ice at these Games when his team men’s free skate helped keep aloft the U.S.’s medal chances. Performing to a mix of “Arrival of the Birds,” by The Cinematic Orchestra, and “O,” by Coldplay, he earned third and America ultimately won bronze overall.
That same skate this weekend in the men’s individual event got him slightly lower marks and his total score there came in at No. 10 — still a success, in his eyes.
“To come away from this Olympic Games to skate three clean programs in the midst of what seems like a lot going on, and a top-10 finish in the individual event and a bronze medal [in the team event], I think this is sort of like a dream Olympic Games for me,” Rippon told the press later Saturday.
“I think I’ve shown the world that I’m a fierce competitor,” he said, “but I think I’ve shown them that I’m also a fierce human being.”
You’ve shown the world that you’re an asshole.
Meanwhile:
Sorry, Lindsay. Gold is for winners. So is visiting the White House.
The Crawdad Hole 
She should understand why we don’t like her.
SHE not only injected her politics, she insulted every TRUMP supporter.
If you have nothing nice to say, just say nothing at all.
…. but if you do say something not so nice, expect a rebuttal… or some karma… b*tch.
Insult my President, insult me. It’s really pretty simple. This may not bode well for her future endorsement deals since she insulted half the products’ targeted audience. It’s funny how her defenders are using Free Speech, well yeah, we’re using our freedom to react also 😀
Do we have credible allegations of an unwitting conspiracy?
No. And thanks to the fact that all the named conspirators are allegedly in Russia, and thus not subject to extradition or prosecution, we’ll never even see the evidence used in this investigation. It’ll be unpresented and, if it’s not already, classified.
The mighty fall when their truth only mattes.
matters!!!! Fast fingers today! Yay!
From your favorite psycho ex-GF:
“But that’s not the interesting thing that Reines talked about. He said something to the effect that he didn’t consider Trump to be legitimate. Trump is not 45. The next president will be 45, not 46.
Now that could just be wishful thinking. But what if he knows something we don’t know? What if Trump actually lost the election? I mean legit lost? Maybe that’s why he keeps bringing up the fact that he won. He knows it’s not true? Assuming it’s a possibility, how could that have happened? What are the next indictments going to reveal about how far the Russians got?
Just thought I’d mention it. It could be nothing at all. Nevertheless, it’s time for the media to start rehabilitating her image and unmute her supporters.
Also, let’s stop trying to understand what makes Trump supporters tick. We know what motivated them now. It was a Russian troll farm”
First, it is SO IRONIC that Hillary & Media went on an on about Candidate Trump accepting the results of the election, and here we are; RD and the Dems (specifically one of Hillary’s Flying monkeys) questioning the legitimacy of the election. Such projection. (as mentioned by TCH commenters in the past)
Second, the Media must rehab HRC’s image? (This too predicted by another TCH’r)
Yeah, we’re so stoopid we bought the Farm (the Russian Troll Farm).
I’m not even on Facebook or Twitter so I never saw ANY Russian trolls…. and all of that during the election made no difference anyways – because PDJT won his support when he came down that elevator and announced his WALL.
After he survived ‘The Onslought’ of media criticism from The Wall announcement, he became Teflon, not even the Pussy Grabbing Tape could derail him.
They don’t see it… we’re pissed at our government for turning it’s back on it’s own citizens. He was the only candidate to recognize our rage. So we accept other faults while he brings in the wrecking ball, tears down the swamp and builds The Wall.
All the while the Dems are looking under their beds for Russians, because WE are the ones that would not have accepted a duly elected President??
The psychosis, it burns.
I saw a little of MSNBC after the Mueller indictments came out. And yes, a couple of people mentioned that he “probably” wasn’t a legitimate President. So I guess that is their next thing, since everything else has failed.
“Unmute her supporters” – I really laughed at that one.
Trump haters are the new bitter clingers.
Front page-worthy.
Does clearing the path for my Roomba count as curling?
Yes. Absolutely.
Why doesn’t he just run as an actual Democrat? Rhetorical question.
Why does Utah have to provide him a vanity retirement time-killing job? Can’t he go back to business or something if he is so bored? Rich bobos going full time SJW virtue signaling should be on their own dime and not subsidized by the public. Go away Mittens.
I posted this on Mittens’s FB page: We can’t have gun control when the Russians made so many Americans hate President Trump and his family. We need to protect our families from the Russians and America’s largest hate group. I think you belong to the latter.
So Romney calls for not doing what he’s done all his life? Sitting, waiting, hoping? Wow! A changed candidate! I’D VOTE FOR HIM! (If I were stupid).
Another earthquake.

HAARP, man. I used to believe it was conspiracy, but I don’t know…
All the things that I once thought nonsensical are happening before my eyes!
Ouch.
Meryl and Charlie skating, Meryl and Maks dancing 💞💕
Oh, and I had to wait until the end to see why you said “ouch”, lol.
It surprised me when it came up while I was scrolling for the pairs results that they’d show a gold medal performance of a U.S. dance team from 4 years ago. I thought, wow, way to rub it in for 15th place. 😛
The pairs competition had some gorgeous skating, just not ours 😉.

I’m not a Sean Connery fan, but I sure did like him in The Rock.
Ha ha Michael Moore duped – tweeted about and attended resistance protest outside Trump Tower that was organized by Russians.

That was my laugh for the day!
They are beyond immoral.

Cruz’s brother taken to mental facility under Baker Act.
He was probably decompensating, very badly, and it protects him from the press, and gives him safety and support. Too bad they didn’t get his brother, before this happened.
And we know a lot more. If he’s going to be 18 next week, that means Nikolas & Zachary are just 19 months apart. They were both adopted at birth and are natural siblings, meaning they have the same birth mother. That much we know from Long Island family members who are talking. If he had similar behavioral problems, they are probably scared. He could also be presenting traumatic behaviors due to his mom dying and then his brother doing this. I’d like to know more about the circumstances of their adoption.
Remember Goliad! The Alamo. Followed by the Battle of San Jacinto. Idiots.
Again and again everything they spew is contingent on their being profoundly ignorant.
That is true, but the Constitution–at odds with the Declaration of Independence–actually accounts for insurrection. Article 1, Section 8:
“The Congress shall have Power…To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;”
Tricky that.
Ben Franklin said democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner, but Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
Democrats are nuts.

Remember when Democrats defended Obama’s right to a little rest and recreation occasionally?
These haters are so predictable. I hope alligators bite them in their fat asses.

Those were the slackers.
Imagine that, 700 people gone and the agency still functioning. I am shocked.
The remaining 16,000 employees will just have to make do.

“The FBI can’t stop a nut from killing over a dozen kids and teachers despite plenty of warnings, the Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicts a bakers dozen of Russians who are not in this country and won’t ever again come here, Mittens Romney who was the Governor of Massachusetts wants to be the next senator from Utah! It’s lying’ boobs month!”
Kerry approved travel visas for the Russian operatives that Mueller just indicted???

I don’t doubt it at all.
Who was it Kerry told that not to worry about Trump because Trump won’t be around for more than year.?
The Palestinians
HA, HA, HA!

Listen to how resourceful and respectful this young JROTC Cadet is.

I read about those young men, relying on their training to know what to do. But of course, the left is attacking the JROTC.

But West Point cadet with tha Che t-shirt and communism will win sign is so cool.
WHEW!
Bill hit that outta the ballpark..
Excellent presentation.
March 20th is supposed to be a massive school walkout/protest for tighter gun control laws. Never mind the weekly killing in Chicago and Detroit, now we have an opportunity for righteous indignation, and we’re going to take it!
I’m getting free HBO this weekend. I recorded Wonder Woman but I’m not sure I want to spend 3 hours watching it again.
True confession, we watched Wonder Woman Christmas night. I know I watched part of it, but I don’t remember any of it. I leaned back in my recliner and that was all she wrote.
I watched it and it was ok, but not really satisfying. Re-watched, “The Last Legion”, and it filled the bill.
