Yes, Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir said mean things about Utahn Nathan Chen’s performance at the Olympics last week. Although it’s more accurate to say that Weir and Lipinski said truthful things about Chen’s unexpectedly bad performance in the men’s short program of the team figure skating competition.
To some degree, Lipinski and Weir brought this criticism on themselves. They’re sometimes snarky and snotty, which has proved to be very entertaining when they’re commenting on figure skating — and when they’re commenting on fashion at the Oscars, the Kentucky Derby and the 2016 Summer Olympics. Or when they’re offering opinions at the National Dog Show.
