Adam Rippon Claims Gold at Figure Skating Championships Without Any Quads
Adam Rippon reacts to his scores after the Mens’ Free Skate during the the 2016 Prudential U.S. Figure Skating Championships on Sunday (January 24) at Xcel Energy Center in St Paul, Minn.
The 26-year-old athlete bested 2013 National Champion Max Aaron for the title, with 270.75 points.
Adam was also the only top skater to not land a quad, where as Max and bronze medalist Nathan Chen, had many.
“After the first jump I reminded myself that I’m a warrior,” Adam shared with press after being asked about the jump. “I can’t believe it’s a reality.”
So endlessly proud of @Adaripp…he's the gift that keeps giving. THATS a performance #USChamps16
