He landed the first quadruple Lutz (what every that is) in Olympic competition, but he didn't spend enough time bashing Mike Pence or parading for the world his sexuality, so his story was largely ignored.

But holy cow, if you judged Rippon's performance by Tara and Johnny's commentary, you would have thought the guy was a shoe in for gold.

My favorite comment by Weir about Rippon. "He's got sass."
