The OP is the first post of the thread. (Original Post)

In fan fests, a full OP has links to:

  • Bios
  • Social Media links
  • All programs, listed by season
  • All the videos of programs, exhibitions, and galas that you can find
  • Interviews and articles
  • Pictures or videos of the skater when they first started skating
  • Anything else the OP owner finds interesting that relates to the skater
Some OPs are very complex in design, others very simple, depending on the taste of the OP owner. Some have all that stuff and more, some have only a few of those items on the list.

We hope the OP owners will edit and update the OP at intervals, but if they don't, mods try to do updates.

Such a shock, automated voting. :rolleye: What did the organizers think would happen? Have they been living under a bridge for 10 years not to know that this stuff happens with all on-line polls that stay open for any length of time?

Practice notes: Adam Rippon landed 4Lz(either clean or just UR) and 3A - there was quite a smirk there http://bit.ly/1Te6CYq #Worlds2016

Practice notes: Adam Rippon and Javier Fernandez looked amazing out there, killing 1st day of practice http://bit.ly/1Te6CYq #Worlds2016

But seriously, it was a quad lutz-smirk combination. 😏 #Worlds2016 +3GOE

Thanks LRK, I was hoping someone would post Jackie's tweets

Well, if Adam lands that 4 lutz in competition, he will have proved me wrong (as I always thought it detracted from his compelling LP), but I hope he does!:hap10:

I think the key for Adam - both for the quad lutz and delivering the program with conviction is the same: a no holds-barred approach. No hesitation. Just go for it!

ETA - Oh, and a smirk would be a nice bonus too. ;)

I hope this confidence stays with him through the competition. Go prove the naysayers wrong, Adam!

Thank you for the clip of Adam's SP practice. Really good! If he shows that this week I think he has a chance at top 10 in SP and then with a fabulous long ....who knows! His spins are superb!

I'm soooooooooooo happy that Adam finally performed a clean short program this season (to achieve this at Worlds is extra icing on the cake! :yes2: :clap: ), and that he earned a Personal Best score for this segment!!! :hap93: :yahoo: :hap10: Kurt Browning and Carol Lane were very complimentary towards his skating (although I was annoyed that his K&C and scores were chacked :disapp: , but at least the CBC aired his SP this time around, unlike last year).

Adam Rippon: "I won’t try, I will do a quad Lutz. I’ve done some of my best quad Lutzes in practice here. I am ready for the challenge."


That's right, Adam - that's the spirit! :clapper: (Also - Master Yoda would approve.:))
