Reacting to the 2018 Winter Olympics | Adam Rippon 

“Grab my leg?...for free???” is a mood!! Your performance was glorious! 🥰🥰🥰

i was in 8th grade and remember watching you instead of doing my science homework but then the next day during class, my teacher was like “did anyone watch the winter olympics?” and i was like “me! i did!” and my science teacher started talking about you and i freaked out and told him how i watched your performance instead of doing homework and he laughed

“But then I did have McDonalds right after, so it’s fine.” I’m dead 🤣

" *So if you think you're dying maybe you are but maybe you're not* " This is what I needed

Adam is the reason that team america even made it on the top 3 with this killer performance

i love how he feels and talks about his performance so cutee 💘

I remember it being magical: 1. It was the first time I saw you skate this program with the ENTIRE music because of copyright. 2. It was beautiful. 3. It was very buttery. 4. There were pride flags in the audience. 5. You looked so happy and emotional. 6. It was magical. You should be very proud!

I kind of want him to react to yuzuru hanyu in pyeong chang 2018 and give his profesional opinion

4:48 _“Attention all other athletes. You do not realize how good you are until you stop.”_ Love Adam’s commentary, and yes!! Athletes gotta appreciate the incredible things they can do while making it look easy 💕

“Butter....😆 I was tearing up it was so beautiful ♥️

Your freeskate program was one of my constant joys that skating season. It was so beautiful. I was in tears watching you during the team skate.

You were so beautiful. Well, you still are, but that performance was amazing. I love the expression "get into the ice". Listening to you talk about Mirai is inspirational.

“The one thing I’ll miss is I was always really tan” same 😂

Adult skater here, been off the ice for a while with a job I hate killing me slowly and turning me into a fat ass. Watching this is just hitting home how much I love skating and that I need to find a way back. I belong on that ice. Thanks for sharing that joy, Adam!

I remember watching the Olympic games solely for figure skating and then seeing Korea Air airplanes continuously fly into LAX throughout the week following the ending of the games.

Adam Rippon being a mood for 12 minutes

Your final layback spin made me cry in 2018 and again watching you watch it here. You are a beautiful skater.

broooo i wanna see him react to other skates at the olympics now

Such a warm beautiful being. Your friends are really lucky. You bring light and love and laughter wherever you go. Thanks for sharing this moment.

Wow Adam. I just told my daughter now, that I just which I had such an awesome coach like you, in my skating years. I think with all your convidence that you have in your skaters. I would have come so far in skating. Please keep up your inspiring of your skaters, and showing them that you believe in them. You are a true example of what a coach must be🍭

The layback spin in the middle of the Olympic logo was just poetic. You worked VERY hard to get there and you should always be proud, never forget that!

we love the Asian Americans dominating the 2018 Olympics

I laughed and cried throughout this one, Adam. So great to see and hear your reactions as you watched this! I won the GLAAD contest that sent me and my partner to San Francisco for the gala last month, and I was so hoping to meet you that night, but it wasn't meant to be, sadly. Got your book in the mail this week, and I'm really looking forward to reading it! Wishing you the best of everything now and always!

Best line”I thought I was going to diarrhea myself to death”. LOL. I’ve had those moments. I love to listen to Adam. He brings humanity to the Olympic Games. One of my all time favorites. Bravo! Pure gold for me!

Aaaand THAT’s a Zamboni 🙏🏼😂💙 you are so precious, Adam 💙

Watching you watch yourself here was so heartwarming. It literally made me tear up. You were brilliant then and you’re brilliant now. ❤️

Omg I am half way through the book and was thinking “ Adam should do a reaction video to his Olympic performance”

Omg...grab my leg? For free? 😂😂🤣🤣💞 love you adam! So beautiful!

This has been my favorite video you’ve made. I loved hearing you talk us through your routine. Unreal that you hadn’t watched it!! I don’t think you realize the beauty and soul that your free skate shows. I have that performance saved since the Olympics and I often watch it. Your artistry and bird like movements woven into your routine are captivating, along with the power of your jumps and the grace in your landings are true art that always brings tears to my eyes. You are still an amazing athlete. Thank you !!

I literally cried watching your Olympic performance. So so so beautiful! You are incredible.

So amazing to watch your play by play reactions. Esp to your own performance...which you *SLAYED*

I remember watching you on TV during the Olympics broadcast and I cried during your free skate it was so beautiful. The joy on your face was so brilliant it shone through the ether straight into my living room and I felt like I was there with you and Team USA.

it never fails you can just make me laugh so hard even when ur not trying to be funny. but also every time i watch your program i cry. ♥️ i don’t skate at all but you have been an inspiration to me in my life. thank you adam ♥️

The entire time I was reading your book, I could hear your voice and see the eye rolls. I loved the book. So happy for you!

I loved the song you chose - one of my favourites. Also love your collabs with on ice perspectives. Please do more.

I remember I discovered you back then coz you skated to my favourite song Arrival of the birds and I absolutely felt in love with your performance and then your personality! I'm so happy you're bringing this beautiful peace of art and entire Olympics back! Wishing you even more success, your big fan!

I remember watching your program, even my boyfriend who has never watched skating before was rooting for you. We were so taken by your program xo!

Loved this so much! Thank you for sharing your experience, thoughts, and reaction! I always loving watching the figure skating competitions not just because I’m Canadian but because you guys, my fellow Canadians, and just the figure skating community work so hard to get these moments that I just love seeing that hard work realized on such a grand stage! Even if its not a gold medal (sorry for stealing that from you) you’re still full of 24 karat magic to me, so thank you and congrats again!

Watching again & loving your commentary, Adam. Stay true to you. Congrats on you & JP!!!

His spins are gorgeous!

I just finished listening to you read your book (I laughed so hard I almost had an accident), so seeing this right now is perfect.

This is so amazing to watch!! Love this ♥️

I like your short program, was a lot of fun, made me so happy.

You are soooo adorable! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts in this video. Such a rare insight into what's going through an Olympian's mind as they're performing/competing. You had me laughing/crying along with you! Xo

Incredibly wonderful video, Adam!! You have happily changed our lives in the subtlest of ways.

Your skate was so memorable! I will never forget how happy I felt when I watched you land that final jump. And your smile was so contagious! Thank you for inspiring me to skate and reminding me why I love the sport so much! ♥

Hearing you comment on your own Olympic program made me teary-eyed. I loved it as it happened, but much more now!

I love this program if yours Adam, I watch the video almost every day, you’re so elegant and you look like you are enjoying yourself, there’s w moment in which you give a smile to the judges, amazing skater and performer 💙⛸

I remember crying while watching this team skate. It was so inspiring and such a momentous moment. Ahhhh almost in tears rewatching through this video

Your performance at the Olympics in 2018 was my dream come true. For me, I believe that the sport isn’t about winning, but about creative expression and emotion❤️ to see you, my favorite skater, perform to my favorite artist’s music, Coldplay, was ugh...so beautiful!

Some programs just make me cry cus it’s so good

I remember watching the Winter Olympics and being so proud of USA’s 2018 skating team. You guys were all so incredibly good and talented. You did us proud! 🇺🇸💙❤️

It was so interesting and helpful seeing you reflect on your program and hearing what you were thinking at various points. I pretty much just go blank and am on autopilot for my program when I skate in competition.

you’re actually so hilarious and inspirational. Can’t wait to get your book :)

No performance on ice ever had me in tears almost from the beginning to the end like yours. This was pure, otherworldly magic. You won a billion hearts, but you should also have won the gold.

You are so amazing to watch - YOU caught my attention while watching the Olympics and was completely glued to watching ONLY YOU ! You just glide on the ice 😍😁

I remember falling in love with you while you skated this routine. I just finished your book, which you narrated, You had me laughing and crying throughout the book. You will always have a special place in my heart, You are my inspiration. Love you, Adam. I wish you the best and happiness.

So so beautiful!! So proud of you and grateful for your hard work and dedication and skills!!!

this video made me cry and laugh so much I love you adam !!!

why did this make me cry omfggg

I absolutely have loved you since 2018 Olympics and I loved you on dancing with the stars you are amazing the fact that there where no politics during the 2018 Olympics I honestly loved you for that you are amazing. Adam.

I love all your programs, but this is my favourite performing.

You are such a gem, Adam.

Your skate took my breath away . . . seriously . . . I had to focus to breath! Beautiful!

I am sure that it was fate that made me turn on my TV to watch the Olympics at the exact moment that you began your team skate.

You do look so joyous! Nailed it with that description. And watching you do your shit makes me feel so joyous.

Your face is PURE JOY. I'm so very very proud of you.

Remember watching this awesome skate of yours. We were rooting for you!

I loved your presentation, how artistic you are and your amazing outfit. I watched it almost 100 times.

Адом супер катание и хореография дорогово стоит восторг спасибо большое тебе

I cried you looking at this wonderful program.

Hi Adam! My name is Maiju and i'm from Finland. I have been your fan for long time and i have to say that your free program in Peyongchang was just pure diamond. It touched me lot how much emotion you had on ice and on that program it was just magical to watch your skating and i bet that many others thinks same way. I wish you all the best and maybe some time when you come to Finland we can meet and go coffee?? ☺ With hugs and best regards❤ Maiju

What a beautiful post Adam - thanks so much. So honest and great in reflection. You look magnificent - so extraordinarily graceful. My little story: I was a figure skater until early teens. After that I loved to ski, roller blade, run, work out etc. Then came children and arthritis and hip replacements and general old age. Two days ago, in a moment of madness, I decided that I had to have some form of activity - as I had gained 30 kg and had no vibrance (who am I?). So I bought some new skates, remebering the joy, and yesterday went for an hour on the rink. I thought I would be pretty ordinary, but could manage looking graceful in a straight line, a brief spin and some elegant backwards... HA ha hah - I was holding on to the rails!!! You are so right, we HAVE to love and appreciate whatever we can do and be happy and proud of it, because it will change, one way or another. Thanks for sharing, very inspirational.

Damn! I did watch these performances. So good. Just wonderful.

I love your freedom and willingness to keep it real by talking about throwing up and diarrhea. This is the kind of authenticity we need from public figures.

this is the best thing i’ve ever watched

So Adam, you’re done now with competing. This was the first time I saw you skate after hearing so much buzz about you. And I saw that performance and felt so proud of you. It was great.

Amazing!!!

Great video. I like hearing your opinions on everyone including yourself

He had such a beautiful program

I’m obsessed with the your music 🎶

As I told you after the unveiling of your "Birds" program at the 2016 Skate America that it was a masterpiece, it was even more so during the Olympic team competition. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

You can be soooo proud of your self!! Pleas be proud!!

This was on 3 separate broadcast if you had Xfinity . The regular broadcast, the on-demand access and the ultra hi-definition on-demand broadcast, all three with different camera angles and moderators. I probably watched each at least 50 times.

love ur channel! (and ur tush!)

“Butter” lol love it

Never under estimate what you achieve, its obvious the amount of work you did to reach that standard, be proud of it, like many things in life we only get one chance there is no road back.

He is the best mood omg

Your making the Olympic team..meant that my work here on earth was basically done, at least as a skating fan..The Kid from Hackensack made it!

LMAO at the zamboni at the end 😂!

12:09 👍👍👍 Adam Rippon u made me cry..

10:47 IF THAT AINT ME DURING COMPETITIONS😂 (I’m in color guard and performing every Friday plus competitions on Saturdays are crazy! The experience was better than getting first place ♥️

No I’m not gonna cry......to late......❤️

Thanks for watching too you, Adam Rippon.

Your costume design is perfection for you.

It was frickin magical

My feelings right now: 😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It reminds me of the electric of ice, the energy needed for it to stay together.

Adam, you should make a video of you attempting this a year on!

Man I need to be more self accepting like him...
