At the age of twenty-three, three-time U.S. Champion Johnny Weir is one of the superstars of figure skating. Fans all over the world love his fluid, elegant style. Johnny is a 2006 Olympian, and is in training for the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver. Johnny didn’t start skating until age 12. Johnny’s first venture onto the ice occurred one harsh winter when the corn field behind his house froze over. Johnny was thrilled to receive a second-hand pair of skates for Christmas, and to his parents’ amusement, he used them to skate in between the frozen corn stalks! That convinced them to let him take group lessons at the University of Delaware. Four years later, Johnny won the World Junior Championships. In addition to skating, Johnny is very interested in fashion, designing all of his own costumes, and was the recent focus of a well-received documentary entitled “POP STAR ON ICE.”
