They need to combine figure skating with shooting, like the Biathlon.
If you can do a Triple Lutz, then follow it up by nailing 10 out of 10 targets, then I’d really be impressed.
Its so superficial. People should be themselves but if the subject is sex, best to keep it private. We dont want a male downhill skier getting to the bottom ripping off his skis, and announcing he loves to f women. We just want to focus on the sport.
“”””””There is no honor in that. He is not a winner.”””””
He’s a fag, Jim.
Brian Boitano & Brian Orser are both gay; however, both were skaters first and great skaters at that rather than prefacing everything they did with their sexual orientation. No comments were made about their sexual orientation during any of the commentary or analysis of their performances that I ever heard.
Rippon is a flamboyant, activist gay first, throwing it up in everyone’s face & everything is supposed to follow on for him because of his sexual orientation. His “gay struggle” is the excuse used by all defending Rippon for his lack of results on the ice. If Rippon were straight, he’d get very little attention, especially since his routines do not contain the more risky, technical content as performed by the other skaters who are outscoring him.
Exactly. Everybody knew about Boitano, we didn’t care, because he never made a big deal out of it.
How is Adam Rippon a hero when he is vile, reprobate, and given over to a perverse lust? Homosexuality is a dreadful mental and spiritual conditions that causes premature death. That said, I pray that Jesus Christ, in His love, would set Adam free from his destruction.
Ah yes, all must have prizes.
Actually true Olympic champions get the gold medals.
Between commentator Johnny Weird...er, Weir....and Madam, er, I mean Adam Rippon, I’m surprised the ice doesn’t instantly melt when those two flaming dudes are within 100 feet of the rink.
He was an above average performer - nothing spectacular in the least. He only got the overblown media attention he did because of his stated sexuality.
In other news in regards to Thurs. Nights Men's Figure Skating.....
"NBCs coverage of the Winter Olympics on Thursday night drew 16 million total viewers and a 3.9 demo rating, ticking down from Wednesdays PyeongChang lows while off 30 and 34 percent from the same night in Sochi 2014"
Sass and pizzazz don't amount to much.
Finger, meet tonsils. let me guess, the writer must be a transsexual in search of a date with you know who. The modern Olympic Games have prouder accomplishments to talk about than this blowhard’s love object.
Exactly. Nathan Chen didn’t get nearly the attention but he owned that last routine like a boss. Adam Rippon is certainly above average but nothing spectacular - never would have gotten the media hype which was nonstop but for his stated sexuality and the fact he apparently doesn’t like the Vice President.
Ice Prancing. Good idea for a Monty Python skit.

What, no barf alert? But I guess the headline was a warning.
