Adam Rippon & Mirai Nagasu's Strong Friendship Was Born Over In-N-Out & Not Making The Olympic Team in 2014

If you watched the Olympics last night, you probably saw Adam Rippon and Mirai Nagasu‘s strong friendship just leap off the screen and into your home.

When he was performing, she was there supporting and when she nailed her history-making triple axel on the ice, Adam was screaming in his seat.

“I just remember four years ago Mirai and I were in a dark place,” Adam shared. “We were so upset and sad and, honestly, we were like depressed that we weren’t at (the Olympic Games).”

“It was bad,” he added in a chat with Team USA. “It wasn’t good. I told her as we were going through that, I said, ‘Mirai, I’m so lucky to have you by my side. We’re going to get through this together.’ And I kept telling her. I say it every five minutes. We room together at the village.”

Mirai and Adam‘s strong friendship was actually strengthened by not being at the 2014 Sochi Games, and instead, being on top of a rooftop eating In-N-Out together.

“Tonight, you know, the Olympics are truly magical, because we came out here tonight, and we gave each other a hug, and I said, ‘You know, Mirai, we’re here! We did it!’”
