Adam Rippon, the 25 year-old 2015 U.S. silver medalist, also seems to be primed to do the U.S. proud this week.  Last January, Rippon, a two-time junior world champion and the 2012 U.S. silver medalist, brought down the house at the U.S Championships in Greensboro, North Carolina, with a memorable free skate that included a quad Lutz.  “I went there to do exactly what I wanted to do,” said Rippon. “I wanted to show that my time is now.”

Regarded to be one of the sport’s rising stars as a junior, Rippon faced some challenges as a senior, including the difficulty of learning and mastering the triple Axel, overcoming several injuries, and working through some coaching changes.  “I had immediate success in the junior rank and when that didn’t happen in the senior rank [it was hard],” he said.

These days, Rippon certainly seems to have hit his stride due to where he is right now in terms of his training situation and general mindset.  Without question, he seems to click with Rafael Artunian, the coach with whom he has been training with in Artesia, California for the past several years.  At the same time, he seems to get a huge confidence boost from his best friend, Ashley Wagner, the 2014 U.S. titlist who also trains with Artunian.

In considering these different variables, Rippon seems to be ripe to rock out some high marks this week in Shanghai.  “I know it’s within me to do it,” he said. “I’m just getting ready to be amazing.”
