American hero, Adam Rippon

 

[Roast Toast]

I love it when Adam thinks about it :think:

 

[loop9497]

Good job Adam! Wow, what willpower to save the triple Axel. Love his spins the most.

Oh, I didn't know Ashley Wagner was there! Great to have her there for support.

 

[Lissy]

Adam is a star.

 

[OS]

hahahahhaa i love Raf's reaction. Ashley is wailing somewhere.. hehe

 

[HollyRose]

Gosh, I really do love what a natural performer Adam is. He does rock that program.

 

[WeakAnkles]

It's been such an angst-fest that that was a breath of fresh air. But not as good as the GPF, a bit nervous for the first half.

 

[Blades of Passion]

I'm kind of over Adam's SP.

He starts it more conservatively than he really should for the music. Not great speed throughout either and the axel was mediocore quality. Cha was still better than this for me.

 

[100yen]

Very accurate!
(And I love your avatar. And all things Mao)

Thank you!! It's my favorite Olympic moment ever. : Really missing her!

If you're talking about the ARENA stream on Twitch, then it's not TAT with Yulia, but someone else, don't know who.

He saved America when he saved that axel.

Y'all I'm not even exaggerating. You just KNOW Donnie's ilk would've gone after him without a clean program.

 

[WeirwoodTreeHugger]

He saved America when he saved that axel.

So, he actually made America great again?

 

[SarahSynchro]

Yasssssss queen! Into first!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I'm so angry right now. Who makes tiramisu with cream cheese????? I saved up my calories for three days to eat this monstrosity! :ddevil:

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Rafael likes it too :agree:

Adam Rippon

Smooth 3F+3T with okay run-out. Just got that 3A with a slight tap of the other foot. (not a Quad Axel, lol) Very well-centered camel spin. Gorgeous and high 3Lz right out of footwork. Very fast sit spin right into an exuberant and fierce step sequence. Beautiful layback spin with almost ridiculous speed and oh baby finish!

Only a slightly wide landing on the 3A, and a little tentative at the start, but a fun, snappy, pop-tastic performance. I still think he's capable of better transitions and choreography but this was undeniably him - and it was fantabulous!

Ashley is there apparently!!

 

[chopinskate]

Good on him! Now never skate to that horrific crap again!
