Adam Rippon- Figure Skating
Again, we don’t need to tell you much about where American figure skater Adam Rippon has been. Although this skater did not win gold, he did take home bronze for the 2018 Winter Olympics. However, it was not just his impressive performances, but his personality that rocketed him to international fame. I mean, he had celebrities like Zach Braff, Reese Witherspoon and Sally Fields tweeting at him! Rippon became the first openly gay athlete to qualify for the Winter Olympics and is not shy about speaking out against Vice President Mike Pence’s anti-gay stance. In a photo he tweeted at Mike Pence, he was seen kissing fellow Olympian Gus Kenworthy.
