when everyone and their mother had something to say about you in their drama narrative this season and you have no choice but to prove them all wrong and rewrite the damn story yourself
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I couldn’t find any pictures of young Adam Rippon on tumblr and that is a TRAGEDY.
So let’s all enjoy this picture of floofy haired baby gay Adam from 2010 (winning bronze at skate Canada with Patrick Chan and Nobunari Oda)
“Screw it. I have nothing to lose.” – Nathan Chen
Six quadruple jumps. What a comeback. What an inspiration to not give up!
yuzuru hanyu defends his olympic gold
That smile, and this moment will be for the history books!
Nathan won the free skate at the 2018 Olympics with 6 quads, and his score was just 8 points below the world record. That’s the best “fuck you” to the haters i’ve ever seen
Thank you, quad Sal, quad toe, triple Axel, right ankle, Olympic ice.
Thank you, Yuzuru!

M: Wow, that was incredible. And now, we’ll get to hear their stories in the studio. What’s up with you?
N: I’m okay.
M: What’s wrong?
N: Hanyu was saying that this moment is the happiest moment of his life, but this is the happiest moment of my life too.
M: Regarding that, well, this applies to the commentator, Honda, as well as Takahashi, and you, Oda, but the reason why Hanyu and Uno are where they are with the medals they have today is because they were lead by you all. They didn’t get here on their own. I think this 1-2 finish is the creation by Japanese figure skating. And Oda, you are part of that.
N: I don’t know anything. I don’t know anything… all I know is how hard they worked to get here…
