The Runthrough

Adam Rippon, Ashley Wagner, and Sarah Hughes

Olympians Adam Rippon and Ashley Wagner join forces with Sarah Hughes (no relation to 2002 Olympic Champion, Sarah Hughes) to tackle the most important questions figure skaters have been asking themselves for years.

Questions like: “Why does this short program feel so long?” or “Is there such a thing as your costume being too tight?” and the most important question of all: “Will changing my hair color fix all my problems?”

Join the team as they cover all the news, competitions, and drama of the figure skating season. Will they kiss? Will they cry? There’s only one way to find out.

    LIVE FROM GEORGIA: The 3rd Annual Rosie Awards

    Welcome to your favorite figure skating podcast, where we talk about all the things that make us kiss, make us cry, and make us host The LIVE Rosie Awards show at the Westin in Gwinnett. This was our very first Live Awards Show and, unbelievably, our 7th live show of the season. We truly couldn’t have done this without your support; we are so grateful for every one of you. This was our first OLYMPIC SEASON as podcasters and what a wild ride it’s been. This season really had it all: Scout the dog, shark attacks, cigarettes, and plenty of fake comebacks. A massive thank you to everyone who came out and dressed to the nines. We also want to thank USFS, The Georgia FSC, and the Local Organizing Committee for all their incredible help. And of course, a huge thank you to you, our loyal listeners. We are so lucky to have you. OUR RUNTHROUGH FAMILY! To all the skaters who competed this season: we love to joke around, but please know it’s always from a place of love. We admire you and we are always cheering you on. The Runthrough will always be a place where we can laugh and cry about the incredible athletes who make us laugh and cry.
