The absolute joy on his face in the second half brought me to tears. I love this performance. I don't think I'd appreciate this as much as I do if I hadn't watched all 3 hours of the Olympic free skates last year. This is so beautiful, but when he came on after a couple hours of other skaters, you could instantly see the difference in his work. He stood out completely. It was magnificent. Yuzuru is incredible and did deserve his medal. But Adam was easily the best performance.
I love how at some point it looked like he didn't even care if he was being observed

It honestly makes me so happy to rewatch this because I remember feeling so immensely moved by Adam. He’s such an artistic and emotional skater and I just love that. I could tell he didn’t even care to place. He just wanted the opportunity to skate at the Olympics and show everyone what he’s worked his whole life for. And him nearly bursting into tears at the end, in utter disbelief, proves exactly that. He’s an incredible, raw, genuine soul and I’m so happy it shines through in his skating
SUPERB Skating. Such artistry and skill. Adam is the only man I have ever seen beautifully execute a lay back spin. His free leg was exquisitely angled. I teared up the first time watching this program. Needless to say, the choice of music was fantastic.
Exquisite. He is so light on his feet, like a bird. Such a beautiful match between his choice of music and his interpretative dance. Faultless. Xx
At the time this occurred I casually turned on the olympics and Adam was just starting this performance. I’m not much of a figure skating fan but since I like piano and orchestra I stuck around. Well when the coldplay song unfolded and that together with his performance I was absolutely overwhelmed. When he finished I was crying. This is the best Olympic performance I’ve ever seen. And the magic of spontaneously tuning in was fantastic. Keep in mind I’m more or less a meat head and this is not my thing. Thank you Adam. Forever a fan.

I agree his artistry was flawless. But the olympics are an athletic competition, so of course quad jumps are gonna beat out triples etc. I will say I don't think they score spins fairly. It takes a lot of skill and athleticism to spin rapidly and tightly. Rippon does not travel much when spinning.

It's not just about jumps. So nice to see Adam happy being himself.

Music was amazing on its own, but the choreography brought it to light in a way that every human being could see something special. So memorable and worth watching over and over again.

glad to see i still cry watching this
You can tell he really likes the footwork and the spins the most. He smiles most during those than any other activity. Even when he perfectly lands a jump as smooth as butter, he doesn't smile at all.
I literally can't take my eyes off him.. it's really enchanting..
I remember I was in tears by the end watching this live on TV... just wonderful!!!
He’s so beautiful...this skate is possibly the best I’ve watched.

One of my favorite things to have seen in my life will be this performance.
Was never more proud to be an American watching this live. Adam, you made us all so emotional, warm, and caring with every glide on that ice. The talent the time and all that hard work shows in every strike of the blades to that ice. You are magical and so so talented!!!!
Somehow watching this performance over and over had thought me so much peace! The routine, the skill, the music choice, everything!
This routine gives me chills every time I see it! It is so hauntingly beautiful...the music, the choreography and the skating! Adam nailed this🥰
I'm going to give this dude his credit... that layback was the best I've seen a guy do since Rudy Galindo in 1996. Actually Adam's was better. He held it longer than even most women would dare to in a combo outside of Lucinda Ruh in 1999.
this is my comfort video whenever i feel too much of anything amir just want a little pick me up adams skating does that for me because he just puts everything he’s got into his skating and it really shows
Poetry in muscles, artistry and music. I will NEVER forget this performance. It was glorious to have watched it in the moment.
This is one of my favorite skating programs ever. Adam is so amazing. Every single move comes out of his heart. Every single move has a meaning. That’s what I love about figure skating. His artistic skills are incredible, Patrick Chan had it as well.
This is the most beautiful and peaceful thing I have ever seen. I am crying happy tears.
Kinda wish they uploaded his team event skate. I think he was a little better in that one. I mean it's still stunning either way. And this is some goddamn gorgeous music.

I’ve lost count. Not sure how many times I’ve watched this.
When I saw him perform this at Skate America that year, I cried. You can just really feel something in this program- a little mournful, a little magical, a little bit of acceptance even. Just stunningly beautiful.
I find myself watching this video multiple times a year. This is what peaking after year of training to be on a big stage looks like. I wish Adam skated longer because he is a marvel to watch on ice. This performance and Plushenko's to "Bolero" will always be two of my fav men's performances ever.

Aside from his performance being amazing, I also think the songs are really well picked. I love both songs on their own and they blend perfectly together!
Arrival of the birds is one of my all time favourite pieces of music and I loved how beautifully he skated to it
Thank you for uploading this performance. I sadly missed it during the live telecast during the Olympics and have never been able to find it till now. You just made my day!!!
This was so artistic and beautiful, it moved my soul and brought me to tears.
His face at 4:37 is my everything. I became hooked in 2008 and to see his career develop through highs and lows it is amazing how Adam kept learning along the way and knew what he had to do to get to the Olympic games. He persevered and got himself into the best shape of his life and delivered 3 stunning, original and unforgettable programs on skating's biggest stage. Bravo Adam. Well done!
The programme makes me think of some lost angel on earth looking at the birds in the sky and remembering how to fly - I wish there was some way I could tell this to Adam.
His skating is so pure and beautiful. It leaves me breathless. Love the smile at the judges, he seems so comfortable in his skin and is an absolute pleasure to watch!
This was/is my very favorite performance. I have watched this over and over and am captivated each time. Artistry in motion. Bravo, Adam!
Watching this never fails to make me cry.
One of the most beautiful pieces I have ever seen or heard. If I was to die tomorrow, this is what I would watch over and over again all night tonight.
his execution of creating something like this is so truly special that not many skaters have the ability to do, my favorite program of anyone because it’s just so beautiful
His presence is huge and alluring, he can drag you in his momentum the way he moves. I like the styles. you deserve it. more power and thanks to you!
I have always loved this song by Coldplay and Adam looked so graceful and smooth out there. He looked like he was having fun.
I remembered the first time I saw him perform this in the Olympics. I know nothing about figure skating, but this free skate performance changed my life and Adam Rippon became my favorite person. There's so much love and artistry into this! Brought me to tears.
One of the greatest programs of all time. Beautifully choreographed and performed. Adam is truly a gift to skating.
So much ease and relaxed on the ice while performing complex movements.
He's amazing! 😀👍
I come back to watch this every now and then. Still beautiful, still mesmerizing and captivating. I’m so glad I got to see him live at 2018 US nationals (the layback spin is really something to behold!). Since this (individual’s men round) was his last program he skated as a competing skater, this is literally/figurative his swan song. Wow
I still remember watching this live, never fails to amaze me
I do not show my emotions. I keep everything inside. I used to be a performer, and the one thing that brings tears to my eyes in front of people are beautiful and emotional performances like this one. Truly an incredible performance.....I'm speechless. And how happy he was at the end. Just beautiful......
I wish performances like this could win medals at the Olympics. 😢

Not one of the most difficult programs but the joy and emotion of watching this is incredible.
I'd never thought watching a figure ice skating performance would bring tears to my eyes, but here we are ❤ Adam Rippon is breath-taking.
Just amazing. Simply amazing. It was so beautifully done and him being so happy with his performance was just Icing on the cake.
