Is everyone obsessed with Adam Rippon... or is it just me?

Just wondering

Everyone.

Yes. Adam is so sweet, loves his family and is a wonderful skater. He has great style as well. Just love his curly hair.

Haha, well Nikolai Morozov, on the other hand, did not like his curly hair at all ;-)

Is it true that Morozov told Adam to straighten his hair? If yes, why?

Because Javier Fernandez still has curly hair...

He's good, but I'm not obsessed with him.

Now, about the hair... "Getting my hair straight took a lot of practice. I actually think it's harder than the free skate. I now have it down to a science. When I first started doing it, it took up to 45 minutes with my mom's help. Now, I can do it in about 20 minutes by myself. Before the competition my mom will help me touch it up. I have to blow dry it and iron it. The curls are so hard to get out, but Nikolai likes it straight. At home I always have curly hair. I DO NOT have the patience to straighten every day, only at competition. It's kind of a stress reliever to concentrate on my hair and stop thinking about skating while at the competition."

Wish this said why Nikolai liked his hair straight. Must have had something to do with the programs right?

I don't know, but I also remember him saying that hopefully with the "Send in the clowns" program, Nikolai would let him skate with his curly hair (and he got it at Cup of Russia)

hmmm ..... Jason Brown, Shaun Sawyer, maybe Ross Miner. Was hoping an up and comer on the ladies side would get me excited - Christina Gao might be on my "soon to be on my soon to be obsessed with" list - I guess I'll put Ross there too. Just don't want to commit too soon - in case they fizzle and make me cry ;-)

I too am obsessed with Adam! I love that he is so different from the other top US men. He is so artistic, but he has the technique and the jumping ability to back it up. If he gets a quad in his arsenal, he could be unstoppable. I love the hair and I also love that almost pensive look that he has in his eyes when he is performing....quite mysterious.
