Was Mark Mitchell robbed?

You realize that Yuzuru Hanyu, Javier Fernandez, Nathan Chen, and Patrick Chan were also there, and they tend to draw attention to the sport ?

I'm talking about the United States. In spite of Nathan's achievements, more people have heard of Adam Rippon. After the games, he was everywhere on mainstream US media.

Interesting to know. I think I was more focused on Mirai with the backdrop of "I, Tonya" and Yuzuru, Javi, Patrick, and Nathan at the time ... ? And having flashbacks to Tara vs Michelle via Medvedeva vs Zagitova. I really didn't focus on Shoma or Adam. I hate Shoma's jump technique.

I suspect we are at 14:59 of Mr. Rippon's fifteen minutes of fame.

In one year,Nathan should be the most significant figure skating star in decades.

Not if he's 17th after the short program again.

I was at the 1991 US Nationals in Minneapolis. It was my first. My third row, almost center ice ticket was $100.00. My husband and I drove in from Wisconsin. I knew nothing about jumps, scoring etc. I just knew what I liked. Thirty years later I still have my program. At the event, I wrote across Mark Mitchell's photo, "He was robbed."
