The Runthrough

by 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. Follow us on Instagram: The Runthrough Instagram Support us on Patreon: The Runthrough Patreon

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

You had me at the Dick Buttons clips in your intro. Casual skating fan here who turns into a super fan every Olympics. Love your takes and humor.

HazFish · Feb 2026

I’ve only listened to a couple episodes since Olympics started. I really enjoy the insider perspectives especially of the former Olympic skaters. The other host talks a bit too much and overshadows the other two. There were points in the men’s free skate analysis where I really wanted to hear more from Adam Rippon and Ashley Wagner about Olympic pressure and such, but Sarah Hughes kept dominating the conversation. Also how about inviting some great past skaters for interviews…Michelle Kwan, Nathan Chen etc.

ecnoc · Feb 2026

I’m a gymnastics fan that likes to watch skating. I was looking for something similar to GymCastic to inform me of all the things I don’t know about skating. Love this podcast! Love the dynamic between the hosts and it’s informative without being boring. So glad I found this!

Melg1977 · Feb 2026
