I'm an OLYMPIC SILVER MEDALIST!

[@Steele_Johnson]

I just wanted to say thank you all so much for the uplifting and amazing comments! I have spent the past half hour reading every single one (up to this point) and am just so blessed and grateful to have so much love and support being shown from all of you. Truly, thank you all so much for everything :)

[@tzacher2001]

Congrats on the silver

[@maissasoltani7104]

😀😀😀😀 congratulations

[@MaleahMoses]

Congrats dude!!! Definitely my biggest role model!

[@osoreviews8026]

You earned it! Congrats! 🇺🇸👍🎉

[@kaijagermain25]

Congratulations!! Your love and commitment to God is to touching and your speech after you won brought tears to my eyes! It is such a blessing to see you both stand up as a light for Christ in a dark world; it inspired me. I pray that I have the same courage to stand up for Christ as you and David did! May God bless you both!

[@swimmjim1]

Steele, you and David are the epitome of gracious winners. And when you announced your devotion to Christ moments after winning your medals, it was an inspiration for millions. You guys absolutely ROCK! Thank you for representing our nation, and wishing you the very best in the individual event! Stay strong!

[@carterlink]

Just can't find the words to do your achievements justice Steele.😌 Kept having to pinch myself that this is the kid whose channel I subbed to 4 years ago! The kid I've watched singing and doing skits! - If it's not in your make-up to show pride in your own successes, let others feel pride in you, because you are now an inspiration for us all. - I remember a very early vlog of yours, when you held David's Gold medal for a few seconds. You're the hero now and your life will change because of this. You'll feel the ripples of this moment throughout the rest of your life, and it's been my pleasure to support you for such a long time on this journey. - It has been like watching a light rising in the sky and now everyone can see your light. I mean, you were top-ten trending worldwide!!😱 - Hope you continue to vlog into this new phase of your life. Much love to you, Hilary and all your family. God bless you.

[@corinne6393]

I found your acceptance speech really inspiring and exciting as a young Christian and I loved it. Congratulations Steele!

[@oliviarose530]

To say you're Olympian is a crazy accomplishment in its self but that silver medal I'm sure makes it even more surreal. Congratulations:) With all the hard work you've put in you most definitely deserve it!!!!

[@thetruthabouttiffany]

You all rock. I loved the credit to God in the interview after your win. A silver medal completely deserved 🙌🏼🏅

[@nikkigrossman4244]

Congratulations! You truly deserve it and truly are an example of how to persevere and live humbly. Keep giving all the glory to God and you will go farther than any medal could ever take you!

[@ocredynate3369]

I'm sure you have heard this plenty of times, but your dedication to Christ, along with some very grounded theology is something special to see. I'm super excited to see some more of your diving next week!

[@ocredynate3369]

Oh and I'm sticking around... I don't care if you paralyze yourself... If you're making vids I'll watch

[@PinguimVoadorBR]

Greetings from Brazil, Steele! Thank you guys for the great show, I was there and I loved to see that. There's nothing better than this olympics spirit to spread this good feeling. Hope you guys enjoy your time at Rio cause we are enjoying all your effort at every sport. It's always good to see Phelps, Biles, dream teams and Steeles out there! Sorry for any mistake, I'm not so good with english.

[@Sammymc]

Congratulations to you and to David. We were screaming our heads off in support of you. Thank you for sharing your journey and excitement with us. God bless you both!

[@MegaModel101]

Just thought I would let you know that David and you have been a huge impact in my journey as a Christian athlete. From reading David's book to hearing you speak about your walk with the Lord, it is a constant reminder that everything we go through is beautiful and worth it. Proud of you, and can't wait to see what God blesses with you in the future.

[@ethanmabry4192]

Congrats! Thanks for doing our country proud! I'm excited to see more content from you after finding you through Ben.

[@Jennifer-wq2bl]

I’m one of the 5,000+ new subscribers who sadly didn’t become a fan until after you won your medal. I’ve spent the past few days watching your old videos. You seem like such a kind and down to earth person with such a positive outlook on life. I wish I could be as positive as you. I am so incredibly happy for you. I truly am. Good things happen to good people. You deserve it. Good luck next week.

[@bullieboi]

Beautiful!!! Congrats!! Now you are a part of History!!!! On to the INDY'S!!!!

[@rachelhutchinson6234]

Congratulations Steele!!! You did fantastic, my friends are all sharing your interview videos on my facebook on facebook and the fact that you guys are truly showing that Christ is with you through it all and glorifying Him its amazing ! Well Done

[@sparky1321]

Watched you live and even though I was rooting for my home team GB, when you guys won silver I was so happy for you! :D Been following you for a few months and it's been amazing to see your journey. Can't believe you're 4 years younger than me and have accomplished something 1 in millions of people achieve in a lifetime! I would love to be a paralympian one day and you have certainly inspired me to get off my ass (well metaphorically lol, I'm in a wheelchair) and follow that dream. Thank you Steele! and WELL DONE! :) :) :)

[@PYLeeoye]

It was absolutely amazing to watch you win the Silver medal in Rio! So very happy for you, David, and your family. It was awesome! Had faith in ya, just watching you grow as a person and a diver these last few years, there wasn't a doubt you could do this. Your physical skills are world class but the biggest thing I don't think others realize is your mental fortitude. Saw that focus really shine in that NCAA run freshmen year, where you where so consistent compared to everyone else and could go lights out and be perfect. Then it continued on the world stage with all those FINA events. You worked your butt off and surrounded yourself with good people, you earned it Steele! Congrats! Awesome to see this vid with you getting to spend time with your family and girlfriend. And also getting time to reflect on the last few days. Be well and enjoy your time there. Will be cheering you on for the individual 10m.

[@uktrvlr03]

So awesome to see the joy in your journey unfolding before you! Thanks for taking us all along with you!👊

[@Steele_Johnson]

Thanks for watching!

[@foxemily572]

CONGRATULATIONS! America is so proud of you! ❤️

[@kayleedarnell1417]

I love the fact that instead of him bragging he talks about how he does it for the US and us. Also since this was his first olympics and he's only 19 and he gets to bring home a silver medal proves a lot. I believe he will get better and better as time progress and I can't wait to see him again at the olympics in four year. Congrats on everything Steele!❤️

[@Tonefish1578]

UK fan but so incredibly proud of you and happy for you and David. I've Tweeted previously that this year my most exciting competitions to follow have been those with David and yourself competing against Tom & Daniel. Going into the Olympics I've always said that my support between Team GB and Team US is equal and that all I wanted was to see all 4 of you share that Champions Podium. I proudly wear my Dive USA pin badge next to the Union Jack Flag on my Team GB shirt. Thanks for taking us on your journey via KZbin these past years and letting us be part of your story.

[@TheColorguard01]

Congratulations Steele on your accomplishment, and for using Christ to guide you there and always putting the Lord in Everything you do. May the Lord bless you in days to come. Congrats!!! I really enjoy your videos.

[@LOLWAAHH]

I first encountered your channel when I saw your comment on one of bens vlogs a few days before he arrived in Rio! I was actually pretty amazed that an actual Olympian watches the same vlogger that I do! Then when you won the silver, I was even more amazed! Congrats man! USAUSAUSA

[@liukin95]

Congratulations to you and David! Watching you get emotional when you won the silver made me tear up a little too because I've watched your vlogs for as long as I can remember Steele! So happy for you well done!

[@jayla0]

wait seeing you and ben made my heart happy, you and david did absolutely amazing!! congrats to the both of you!!!!!

[@Steele_Johnson]

I was so nervous when I ran into Ben!

[@billadams2370]

I am at a loss for words, too. It has been amazing journey to follow your life's journey these past six years. You were a great kid and you have grown into an amazing young man.Over 19,000 subscribers! I remember when we were just a handful and I wished more people knew about you. They do now! It was so incredible to see you walk out during the Opening Ceremony, it brought tears to my eyes. And to watch you David dive was nerve wracking and so exciting. You guys looked so calm. So congratulations on winning. As always, thanks for sharing a slice of your life with us. And best wishes for success on the next event!

[@DanaJunkin]

Congratulations Steele! You're also in a buzzfeed article too!

[@theresae4697]

He's in some buzzfeed videos too

[@DanaJunkin]

Rere E yay! He was also featured in the Olympics snapchat story 🙌🏻

[@tiaamy3840]

10 years later- still walking around with that medal with him everywhere 😂😂

[@thatrllybuttersmyeggroll5128]

And the other ones he will undoubtedly win

[@airbear320]

Congratulations! It's been so fun to watch your journey to the Olympics & then to see you win Silver! Even though I don't actually know you, I've been bragging about you to everyone. So proud to have you & David representing our country! :)

[@justdance02]

I've been anxiously awaiting this video!! Congratulations Steele! You and David are such great role models, and your dedication to spreading the Word is top notch. I started recording the Today show too late, so I'll have to find it online. Enjoy this week before the individual event :)

[@alaninnh]

It's been an amazing ride and there's so much more to come. I was yelling and screaming for you and David the other night, and when you got the silver I too had tears in my eyes. I've been telling anyone who will listen about my You Tube association with you. I certainly don't claim to be as proud as you, David, and your families, but I'm proud man...very proud. You are a wonderful good-will ambassador for America and you have my very best wishes for success in the individuals.

[@BaileyBrianne]

this is so awesome!! Itshard to believe that Olympians are actual people and not just incredible robots 😂love this personal look at what goes on in an Olympic medalists mind!!

[@Steele_Johnson]

I'm glad the video gave some insight! Thanks for watching and for the response!

[@jerusalem4492]

It was so cool how you and David immediately gave Jesus the glory after winning! My family was so ecstatic after you guys won and we all got teary-eyed hearing you guys mention Jesus, HAHA. Much love, you deserved that medal! ❤️

[@Steele_Johnson]

Praise God in ALL moments :)

[@EverydayHairInspiration]

CONGRATS TO THE BOTH OF YOU!!

[@parvatiraghunath7296]

Just needed to express my warmest congratulations to you Steele on your incredible achievement! Your hard work and dedication truly serves as an inspiration to everyone out there that dreams big. Not only is your Olympic medal win making you touch the hearts of many, but the way in which you are so humbly carrying about yourself after such a great feat, truly exudes success. Please know that you have supporters from Trinidad and Tobago that are cheering you on every step of the way. The shaytards vlog brought me to your channel☺️. Congrats to you and your team once again👏🏾🙌🏾🤗

[@johnmurfadevera]

I like the fact that you and your teammate said, your identity is rooted in Christ. God bless you!

[@Sara-ii6df]

Congratulations Steele I'm so happy for you and David!!! I know you keep thanking all of us, but I want to thank YOU for sharing your story and faith during this experience. I've been going through some tough things lately and hearing how closely you're walking to Him throughout your journey has seriously helped me reconnect and feel His love more than I have in a long time. So thank you for being so inspiring and allowing Him to spread His love though you, you have no idea how much it has helped me :) I can't wait to watch you in the individual event next week, I hope you have an amazing week of training and God bless!!

[@Claire96x]

That's incredible! Congratulations! You should be so, so proud of yourself! All of your training and effort has most definitely paid off☺️ I hope you had a wonderful olympics 💞

[@jackiemarie9008]

Congratulations Steele! Hopefully there will be many more medals to come ;)

[@shaneholder7074]

Steele not only am I proud of you and David for winning but I'm proud of how you represented Christ and you didn't define yourself if you won or lost but you said your identity is in Him not the outcome. God Bless bro

[@elizabetholsson3549]

I'm incredibly proud of you, Steele. It’s funny, I found your channel because of your dorm tour from a while back, and I'm so thankful for that. Seeing your hard work the past few months has inspired me to work hard toward my goals and aspirations. I wish you the best of luck for your next Olympic event.

[@emmaalleva3813]

I saw you diving!!! It was so awesome to know someone that's in the olympics! I'm so happy and honored to have you represent our country, and I'm just speechless. I can't describe how happy I am for you, because I've seen your journey through the videos you post. I have seen your progress and I am a 100% #steelejohnsonsupporter Love you!!!!!!

[@geu5323]

Congratulations on winning silver!! I watched the opening ceremonies and saw you with your camera recording it all. The look on your face was priceless; wonder, excitement, overwhelmed, happy, giddy, pure joy! And when you and David won silver, I was so happy for you and your family. All the years of hard work have paid off. When you cried, I got tears in my eyes too. You are such an amazing and inspiring young man; with so much pose and promise. Can't wait to see you win GOLD!! God Bless.

[@brisepu7972]

i watched y'all win the medal live, and as soon as y'all started praising God for all you accomplishments and seeing your raw emotion really helped me realize what winning an olympic medal feels like. thanks for sharing your experience with us, love from texas!!

[@MrFandex]

Congratulations Steele to both you and David. I have been following you for some time now, and I was so excited to watch you win the silver. I was crying right along with you! Good luck next week in the rest of your events.

[@jbebeau]

Super proud! Watching you dive over the years and knowing how good you are I'm not surprised that you and David were able to win a medal. Congratulations! Well deserved.

[@imthewalrus79]

If any two people deserve a medal, it's you and David. As we've seen through your vlogs over the last four years, we've seen how hard you and David have worked and what you have gone through. Not only that, but you are both great Christians and great human beings. I wish both you and David the best of luck in the individuals. But even more than that, I hope you both have fun and enjoy these moments.

[@saragomezalburquerque]

😭🎉😍 Very HAPPY for you!!! Congrats on the OLYMPIC SILVER !!!!! So proud of you! Glad you could meet Ben! ❤

[@sarahrichardson8091]

Congratulations Steele I am so so proud of you. I've been watching your videos for a while now and I am so happy that you let all of us (your subscribers) be a part of your journey and that makes it all the more special. I know that you're going to do great in individuals and that you're going to just get better from here. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for you!

[@janellchen6071]

Congrats Steele! All that blood, sweat and tears in that one medal! Just wanna give a shoutout to your dad as he was so endearing on gold medal families and in your vlogs. It was wonderful to see your family support.

[@stayc2112]

Congrats Steele! It's been great getting to see the Olympics and all that leads up to it in your perspective. Best of luck in the individual! My family (The Steele Family) is rooting for you!

Hi Mr. Olympic Silver Medalist ! What a great performance Steele (and David). Obviously I was cheering for Tom too, but you were amazing. Enjoy every moment, hugs to your proud parents- Marty UK

[@Paul2377]

Well done! I was a bit torn because I've been subscribed to you for ages, so I wanted you to do well, but I'm from the UK so I was supporting Tom and Dan too! All that hard work paid off - so congratulations. :)

[@Rx_rated]

I was watching the live stream and i burst into tears when you did, i just felt so proud of you and happy for you and david! I was holding my breathe during all of your dives cause i wanted you both to do well and you definitely killed it!! So glad i stumbled upon your vlogs 4 years ago and was able to follow you on this journey! Congratulations again and cant wait to watch you kill it in the individual!!! :)

[@kaitlynlightfoot9591]

Congratulations!!! I can't even put into words how hard I screamed and cried when you and David won the medal. It was so great how you and David talked about your faith after winning. I'm so proud and happy for you.

[@AaronWinfield]

Congratulations Steele - well deserved. I've been following you for years now and it is nice to see all your hard work you have put in rewarded. I just wish Tom & Dan got gold. ;-)

[@hoophil]

Congratulations Steele!!! So proud of you and David. I knew you had it in you watching your vlogs working up to the Olympics. It was amazing watching you live during the competition. Thanks for sharing your experience with us and best of luck in your next competition!!! Take care and have fun :)

[@sm_awesome9126]

Steele, you are just an amazing human. Not only are you an Olympic athlete, but you are so incredibly humble, kind, and thoughtful. I am personally an atheist, but I found your talk about faith during the press stuff inspiring. Huge respect for your faith. You deserve this medal more than anything. I can't wait to watch you in the 10m individual! P.S. You and Tom Daley should vlog together ;)

[@Steele_Johnson]

I really appreciate you posting this comment. The support means the world to us :)

[@m.c.clap-yo-handz7632]

[@Blueaveo3568]

Congratulations Steele! I'm really proud of you and David. You're an amazing man! America is proud of you!

[@-sheepes]

I've been subscribed since seeing you on a Shaytards vlog, and admittedly didn't watch every single vlog you've posted. However, I'm very happy for you! Congratulations on your Olympic medal!

[@alesha310]

Which vlog was that

[@-sheepes]

It was a Playlist Live vlog titled "CAMP TAKOTA FOR BABIES!", he shows up 4:40!

[@mystica375]

Yeah thats where i first found out about him. And now look where he is!

[@MichelleTsang]

Congratulations Steele! The best thing about your win is your proclamation of faith with David in the end. Thanks to both of you for helping me realize where I put my identity! Good Luck in your in your next event!

[@samkim3292]

Congrats Steele! It's been amazing to follow you on this journey! You deserve it!

[@MegaToutatis]

You have a lot of talents Steele, and now you are an olympic winner. I can't help to remember this time when Christina Grimmmie didn't go with you to the Prom. I don't know if you suffer about that, or if you could go with some other special girl that night, but look it now... she refused to go to Prom with a future olypic winner. Congratulations from Spain. A pitty I couldn't watch you from here.

[@martysvibrationstation]

Congradulations Steele!! And thank you so much for sharing everything with us along the way!

[@sofiapereira7926]

Congratulations Steele, you deserve it! You've worked so hard, and you are such a sweet and humble person. Thanks for representing us in the olympics!

[@harrypotterhead95]

[@ashleys2199]

Oh my goodness, I haven't watched it yet, but I'm so happy for you Steele! You are such an inspirational person. You've been working for this for 12 years and even after you had your accident, you pushed yourself to get over your fears and did such an amazing job! Love you ♥️

[@xxobrittanyg]

You're such a humble person. It's not us, it's all you. You worked for hard, and the US are ridiculously proud!

[@petercoussoulis6485]

Woo! Congrats to both of you! Glad the US has someone like you guys to represent us! Cheers from Texas

[@AnotherPCAddict]

Congratulations, Steele! Wishing you all the best from all the way in Asia! Damn, well deserved.

[@eimaiakominzontanos]

I just wanted to say that I was so incredibly impressed by you and David's witness in your interview after winning. So far, that for me has been the highlight of the games! It was so authentic and genuine and was a powerful demonstration of the contrast of the lives of those who find their identity in Christ compared to those finding identity in anything else. Congratulations on your medal and good luck at your next event! May God be with you!

[@madison7085]

I have watched you for so long and I want to say how proud I am of you!! When I saw you walking in during the Open Ceremony I was like "That's the KZbinr I watch!!" Then when you won the silver medal I felt so proud! Congratulations!!

[@mystica375]

Its been a great journey you have been on. Watched your event and i have to admit, i shed quite a few tears. To be somehow connected to you through these vlogs and how you do these vlogs to show your epic life is just incredible. I thank you for the time you put into these videos while balancing your diving career and just living life. Im so happy for you and David on your win and the performance you guys did. It was so incredible to watch you give your all to diving and have it pay off. Congratulations and thank you for being you!

[@humboldt777]

Congratulations Steele! You did it!, and you earned it, it wasn't a gift nor something that came falling out of the sky!! I am so happy for you and for Team USA! You honored your country! Keep it up and now get an Olympic medal in the individual event, God bless you and stay safe!!!
