Adam Rippon didn't get a medal, but he's still a victor

The screen grab in Sam's initial tweet showed him joking with his mother over text about how he could possibly ask out Adam, who is himself also openly gay.

Yesterday, in the Men's Single Skating event, he finished seventh in the Short Program and tenth in Free Skating.

"You know, when I was a young kid and I started skating in Pittston, I always dreamed of going to the Olympics and now to be here at the Olympic games and to be wearing a medal is um... it's incredible", says Rippon. He was critical of Vice President Mike Pence being named to lead the U.S. Olympic delegation - mainly because of Pence's track record on LGBTQ rights.

Hey @Adaripp. I just wanted let you know that I am a fan, I am not in denial, and that you are THE MOST FUN! "I said that it's exactly like being a straight athlete".

Rippon, who has become well known for his bold personality and fun, outspoken commentary during interviews, helped the US bring home a bronze medal in the team skating competition. "I think I've shown the world that I'm a fierce competitor, but I think I've shown them that I'm also a fierce human being".

A social media darling, Rippon's performance on Saturday prompted an outpouring of praise on Twitter from fellow athletes and celebrities.

"I try my best to keep it real and in my interviews, I try my best to be myself and when I am out there on the ice, I am just showing another part to myself", he added. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
