"I'm like a witch and you can't kill me."That's an actual quote from U.S. Winter Olympian and immortal sorcerer Adam Rippon. It made its
way into a short bio aired by NBC on Thursday.
During NBC's online streaming of his men's short program routine on Thursday, an animated bio appeared offering up several facts about the 28-year-old Olympic medalist.
One: He's the eldest of six children. Pretty standard. Two: He broke his foot in January 2017 and didn't compete for 11 months. Facts. And three...
So, is it real? Yup. Rippon's incredible quote comes from a
2016 interview, after he'd won the U.S. Figure Skating Championship, trouncing his then-16-year-old training partner, Nathan Chen.
When asked about anyone who has written him off for his age he said, “I’m like a witch, and you can’t kill me," he certainly said. "I keep coming back every year and every year I get better."
Rippon backed it up on Wednesday, telling
NBC, “I can’t explain witchcraft. I feel like I’m coming into my own. I’m confident in what I’m doing."
