And, Rippon might not be the best figure skater in the world, but that’s not what he’s been presented as. He is recognized as one of the leading skaters in the world — with an incredible sense of the artistry and grace that are key to the sport.

Rippon is a medal winner, podium or not. Attacks come from uneducated or under-educated dolts.
