2017 GP NHK Mens FS

That Quad is a borderline Downgrade, I bet he'll only get under though

 

[iskate]

Woah Adam, there was not one ugly moment in that

 

[da96103]

After YEARS of pooh-pooh-ing Adam's 4Lz carrot fall, he finally got it.

 

[dailytg20]

AdDAMN Rippon! That blew me away!

 

[draqq]

What a beautiful, swanlike, soigne performance from Adam! Went by so quickly! Completed every jump with at least positive GOE, except for the 4Lz which is definitely <. Love that though Rippon's moves are relatively simple, he has so much intention behind them. This is one of the rare instances where I'm glad he kept last year's program. Bravo, Adam!

 

[Anni234]

Literally everything starting from the costume to the 4Lz to the performance itself was just exquisite. So different from his SP, but still so good and suits him really well. :luv17:

 

[Interspectator]

4Lz looked UR or double UR though, on replay.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wow! Adam can't believe it himself!

Happy Birthday and great skate to him!

And look at that shirt sparkle!

And I think it was a 4lz! Wow he just pulled that outta nowhere!

 

[Mista Ekko]

Hell yes, Rippon!!!!! Now that's MEN's skating!!!!!

I'm pretty sure it's BIRDS's skating

 

[kevinVchicago]

Normally not my favorite, but happy for Adam. He really seized that opportunity and went all out.

Quad was super UR.

 

[karne]

Forward landing on the 4Lz, as I suspected.

 

[Lota]

Aw, I'm so happy for Adam, what a wonderful birthday present from himself to himself!

It looks like there was a little hook at the end. But still it is better than his 4Lz carrot fall.

 

[Warwick360]

Has Adam ever won a GP? :hap85:

Wiki page seems to suggest not. He does seem to have plenty of 2nds and 3rds though.

 

[LadyB]

Wow, bloody wow! That was a bday performance that could hardly be better. :thumbsup:

 

[nimi]

4Lz looks UR in slomo but still WHOAH IMPRESSIVE ADAM :hap93:

 

[QueenOfTheRoad]

Great program from Rippon. He has very nice lines. Still, his music choices do nothing for me and i am bored through half his program.

USA nationals will be a blood bad!

 

[matmuh]

not a super fan of Adam but that was great even with UR 4Lz :luv17:

 

[Ares]

Adam RIPPON (USA)
Birds
In pale teal mesh shirt with watercolour purple tree details and a shipload of sparkles, navy pants

Oh yes and the "trying to be highbrow here" bird arm movements
4Lz<<


Oh, that was absolutely lovely.

4Lz << yeah. You like to exaggerate. At least nice to know that you thought that it was lovely overall. He might get < though after looking at the replay of his his quad jump.

 

[auser]

Breathtaking performance by Adam

So lovely to watch. Glad I don't have a TES box on my stream to act as beancounting naysayer
