Skater:
John Weir is an American figure skater and television commentator. He is a two-time Olympian, the 2008 World bronze medalist, a two-time Grand Prix Final bronze medalist, the 2001 World Junior Champion, and a three-time U.S. National champion.
He was the youngest U.S. National champion since 1991, in 2004 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 win Cup of Russia in 2007. Weir had a classical skating style and was known for being “a very lyrical skater” and “an entertaining artesian”.
Hair Piece:
You may not fully understand the difference between a triple axel and a quad lutz, but it’s pretty much impossible to miss Johnny Weir, one of the most recognizable faces of American figure skating.
A two-time Olympian and three-time U.S. national champion, the elite athlete provided a play-by-play of all the on-ice action in Pyeongchang alongside fellow figure skating superstar Tara Lipinski and famed sportscaster Terry Gannon.
Best Performance:
Sporting a bedazzled headset (a surprise from the NBC production team after the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi) and intricate updos that rivaled the cast of The Hunger Games, Weir certainly stole some of the spotlight from all the sequined spandex at the 2018 Olympic Games with his full-throttle lewks.
With 13 suitcases in tow, he undoubtedly came to compete, beating out Lipinski, who managed to contain her clothes and accessories to a more modest nine.
Medals:
“Her outfits are smaller — she wears napkin-size dresses,” laughs Weir. Here, the ice king and newest brand ambassador for CoolSculpting (a noninvasive body contouring treatment that freezes away unwanted fat cells), shares how he eradicated his “wine puff,” reveals his ultimate gravity-defying hair product, and explains why a Disney princess is his beauty icon.
No matter how much I worked out or how many times I got in with my trainers and said, ‘Let’s fix this,’ I could not get that one teeny section to go away. CoolSculpting was there when I needed it,” Weir explains of his one-treatment solution.
