Johnny Weir: From Olympic Skater to Star Analyst

Johnny Weir, a notable figure skater, participated in two Winter Olympic Games. His first appearance was at the 2006 Winter Games in Turin, Italy, where he finished fifth. Four years later, he competed in the 2010 Vancouver Games, achieving a sixth-place finish. Weir's competitive career also saw significant domestic success, including winning three consecutive U.S. titles from 2004 to 2006, a feat not accomplished by a male skater since Brian Boitano.

Following his retirement from professional skating in October 2013, Johnny Weir embarked on a successful career in broadcasting. He is now a key commentator for NBC's figure skating coverage, working alongside Tara Lipinski and Terry Gannon. Weir's expertise and personality have made him a popular analyst, covering multiple Olympic Games for the network. He also co-hosts Summer Olympics closing ceremonies and has expanded into fashion commentary and reality television.

Beyond his on-ice and broadcast achievements, Weir also launched a skating academy in Wilmington, Delaware, which opened in August 2025. He publicly shared his personal journey by coming out as gay in his 2011 autobiography, 'Welcome to my World.'
