Local Olympian - Johnny Weir

Johnny Weir - Figure Skating

If figure skating is more your thing, or if you just enjoy career ending face plants, Johnny Weir is your guy. Unlike Bobby Ryan, Johnny has been local for his entire life. From wikipedia:

Weir was born in Coatesville, Chester County, Pennsylvania to parents John and Patti Weir. He has a brother, Brian, who is four years his junior. Weir was raised in Quarryville, Pennsylvania, a town in southern Lancaster County. His family moved to Newark, Delaware soon after Johnny began skating at the age of twelve to be near his training rink and coach. In the summer of 2007, he moved to Lyndhurst, New Jersey and began training in nearby Wayne, New Jersey.

Do your thing, Johnny. Whatever that is.

2/14 Update: It seems Johnny is not without his share of drama, as he's received threats from anti-fur activists about his coats and has scrapped any plans to stay at a hotel while in Vancouver.
