He is carving his mark in the ice with his unique style. He owns it and this makes Adam an excellent figure skater. He stated he knows that he is not the best technical skater out there. For you non-skaters out there in You Tube land who may have never stepped on those two thin blades with four edges, I was not surprised to hear that from him and give him a world of credit for his honesty. Most skaters at his level feel the same about themselves solely due to the fact that they are their worse critics and never admit they may not be technically correct. From what I've recently seen of him, he's damn near perfect. And will represent the USA proudly in this years winter games. Bravo to you Adam and best of luck!
It is brave, respectful and loving to tell people the truth about yourself. A friend of mine cut off his relatives when they wanted to comment on him coming out: "I gave you information, I'm not asking for your permission."
Adam I was mesmerized by yr performance with the bird music... OMG you brought me to tears....first time Ive ever seen you... left speechless.. 👏.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖✌👌👍
Please tell us in You Tube world, your stellar accomplishments. Feel free to include your current achievements. Inspire us. You sound amazing. We'll all ears!
Yes, I categorically agree with Adam dat he is the best performer, always so entertaining n exciting to watch hs programs. Nvr a dull moment. He is one of the few skaters who just know wht music suits hs style of skating n personality. Whether gay or straight is nobody's business.
Adam is a flagrant sinner who desperately needs to obey God and honor Jesus instead of capitulating to the smaller God of tolerance. Adam you should celebrate freedom in Christ and REPENT soon...it is not too late.
He probably accepted the fact he was gay. It is a struggle going up gay in such a homophobic world. It's very painful. He probably stop caring what other people. He probably didn't realize that most would identify him as gay.
He is "unapologetically himself". Hmmmm. I should like to begin by asking for what he'd need to apologise, for start?? His sexuality?? Well, no. On the other hand, one who allows his sexuality to be injected into what ought to be an athletic endeavor, surely has some questions to answer.
Empty words at the end. He ended up "flaming out" (sorry for the pun, not really! lol) missing his last two jumps completely at nationals and finishing fourth. He's lucky the US Olympic Skating Committee selected him to be on the team. He better walk the talk in South Korea if he wants to compete for a medal.
Nobody "needs" to do anything. Adam has way too much moxie to not be open and honest. He's not only freeing himself, he's giving hope to so many young people that feel so alone in this world. What a bright shining light!
There are gay men who do not accept a guy who if effeminate. They are the ones who made fun of gay people, so no one would think their gay. Gay men can be homophobic too. They grow up in the same cruddy world.

yoo toob:
It's also a sucker's bet.
Adam rippon your story inspired me to come out and I love you so much and admire you
"Spoiler alert" I love him so much.
What spoiler alert? A blind person could tell that guy is gay!
Gillian Landry he was obviously being ironic, he knows people can tell he's gay.
Constantine Karadenizlis You're right. Completely missed the sarcasm 😉
Adam is an a-hole. He should learn to respect people of Christian faith.
haha you just a big joke...
YESSS!!!!!! ❤❤❤ Adam is my fav male skater in team usa and honestly I'm just so proud!!!
what an absolutely beautiful person!
A beautiful talented man inside and out!
Adam I was mesmerized by yr performance with the bird music... OMG you brought me to tears....first time Ive ever seen you... left speechless.. 👏.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖✌👌👍
your skate @ NHK was glorious and I almost cried for you/with you boo boo . love the Hair
I'm surprised he didn't talk about his injury recovery. I hope he makes the team, his programs are fantastic.
sprained clitoris?
Buck Norris if you're going to be so rude, and you don't like what you are watching, why are you watching it?
Best performer, I agree totaly!!
Him AND Fernandez. Both in a different way but I couldn't put one in front of the other.
I love him so much.
When you are being your authentic self, no one can take that away from you.
Beautifully said.... deep
I love you Adam. Thank you for being true to who you are!!! You ROCK!!!
Fly, Adam fly
Up to the Olympic sky
Good luck to you Adam!
Beautiful
‘The only thing holding me back is myself. The only thing holding me back is my fear.’Yes. That so nailed it.
Great video! Not easy to share a story like this.
Hope you find much love..
Xoxoxo
I was so shocked at the revelation. Really. Floored.
I love his spirit!
He is so incredible!
❤❤❤
Slayyyyyyy ;)

Go Adam go!!
Yay for ChampionCHips! 💕
Sweet & Real kid. Good luck little guy.
im crossing everything i have hoping he gets on the olympic team, he's the most beautiful skater imo.
Adam you are the Best!!!!
Such a beautiful face
hey...thanks for the info
okay like where can i watch his full 2016 free program from nationals, because i have scoured the earth and found nothing
To love ones self is the beginning of a life long relationship. OW
That is true. I think growing up gay the self love is even harder to achieve.
Does anyone know the music?
A KING RIGHT HERE
Can anyone please tell me where he got those tights?
He's a sweetheart
Brave man.
He’s so gorgeous 😍
Hey! I skate in Pittson! (Revoloution)
I am in love...❤️
You have great taste.
ICE BLADE thanks..
You look happy
You go girl! I hope he wins gold. He's cute.
He has a awesome Bum!!!
I use an elliptical machine for cardio and it help helps keeping my bum tight.
Anthony Boarman hes a virgin or mayb top.lol
Anthony Boarman, skating builds up butt muscles
JohnBelz well he’s got 37 yrs before he’s 60.
Were you ever in? ;)
Красавчик!!! А ножки красота!!!!
The Anna Kournikova of figure skating..
Be bold adam rippon - go usa
I don't care about the gaity. You seem fun and very interesting.
um single!
1:00 US champion Chips
Adam is gay???? Nooooooooooooooooooooo! Who would have thought.
It's just who he is. I'm obviously gay and it has not been fun. People have a sense when it comes to knowing someone is different.
Get over yourselves. Nobody gives a flying leap if you're gay or not. It's when you get in people's faces about it they start to push back.
adan who ..
Yep, and on TV no one appears to be hiding it these days.

Oh wonderful.. another Brian Boitano

It is nobody's business. It's out there though because Adam HIMSELF puts his sexual orientation first and his skating second.
He had to come out? LOL
Spoiler alert 😁
My new favorite 🌈🍭🦄
good for you, i think straight athletes should come out as straight
LOL spoiler alert, a rose is a rose is a rose!
Amen Adam be free be who you are
So happy that most gay sport on earth finally owns it. Adam is great!
Adam is a flagrant sinner who desperately needs to obey God and honor Jesus instead of capitulating to the smaller God of tolerance. Adam you should celebrate freedom in Christ and REPENT soon...it is not too late.
JesusSavedJoshua 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don’t understand on why being gay has anything to do with skating. They are mutually exclusive!
Society make it a big deal to be gay. Well religion does too. People are prejudice and intolerant
No... gays make it a big deal to be gay. Society doesn't care. You're more intolerant Anthony than the people you're whining about.
what ? society doesn't care ? I don't think you realize exactly how much society cares
Society doesn't care if you are like everybody else and are invisible. If you are different they become less tolerant.
What exactly does he mean when he says he came out publicly as gay?
Paula Thyfault lol it means he thinks no one noticed so he felt he had to tell people because he worried no one knew 😂😂😂
Why do you need to be SNIDE? It's such a petty look.
He probably accepted the fact he was gay. It is a struggle going up gay in such a homophobic world. It's very painful. He probably stop caring what other people. He probably didn't realize that most would identify him as gay.
He is "unapologetically himself".
Hmmmm.
I should like to begin by asking for what he'd need to apologise, for start??
His sexuality??
Well, no.
On the other hand, one who allows his sexuality to be injected into what ought to be an athletic endeavor, surely has some questions to answer.
between the voice and the figure skating it was not news to us..
Spoiler alert, nobody cares, and when did you develop that slight lisp ?
Soooo freeeeking weeeiird
Richard Head111 takes one to know one
skates like a girl
Empty words at the end. He ended up "flaming out" (sorry for the pun, not really! lol) missing his last two jumps completely at nationals and finishing fourth. He's lucky the US Olympic Skating Committee selected him to be on the team. He better walk the talk in South Korea if he wants to compete for a medal.
Stone W the whole USA figure skating team did not do well this Olympics it wasn’t just him.
I was referring to nationals, not the Olympics. Read carefully....
He lacks the jumps no matter who he is.
Baby, you did not need to openly say you were gay!..
Yes he does not pass for straight.
Nobody "needs" to do anything.
Adam has way too much moxie to not be open and honest. He's not only freeing himself, he's giving hope to so many young people that feel so alone in this world. What a bright shining light!
voltaire 13 he can say whatever he wants!
ugh
Darcy Swanson that’s what I thought seeing your lame comment
argh. argh. vomit x100
Gay?! What?!?!?! I'm sure no one suspected THAT bombshell lol
There are gay men who do not accept a guy who if effeminate. They are the ones who made fun of gay people, so no one would think their gay. Gay men can be homophobic too. They grow up in the same cruddy world.
