Biography

John "Johnny" Garvin Weir, born July 2, 1984, is a renowned American figure skater and television commentator, boasting an impressive array of accolades. As a two-time Olympian, he has secured a bronze medal at the 2008 World Championships, as well as two Grand Prix Final bronze medals. Furthermore, Weir has been crowned the 2001 World Junior Champion and a three-time U.S. National champion, a feat he achieved consecutively from 2004 to 2006.

Notably, Weir began his skating journey at the age of 12, a relatively late start compared to most elite skaters who typically begin training between the ages of 8 to 10. This marked the beginning of his remarkable career, which would go on to earn him the distinction of being the youngest U.S. National champion since 1991, in 2004.

Weir's impressive run continued as he became the first skater to win U.S. Nationals three times in a row since Brian Boitano in the late 1980s, and the first American to claim victory at the Cup of Russia, in 2007.

Known for his classical skating style, Weir was often praised for being "a very lyrical skater" and "an entertaining artist". His unique approach to figure skating was also influenced by Russian methodologies, leading him to develop a deep connection with Russian history, culture, and language.

Throughout his skating career, Weir's costume choices and outspokenness often clashed with U.S. Figure Skating, the governing body of the sport in the United States.
