Johnny Weir

Whether witty or wise, controversial or charming, shocking or silly, sweet or sassy, provocative or profound, inspiring or infuriating--or any combination of those--Johnny Weir, the three-time U.S. Champion, two-time Olympian, and World medalist figure skater, almost always says something worth quoting whenever he commentates a skating competition, makes a TV appearance, gives an interview, holds a press conference, writes, tweets, or is caught on video. His quotes needed to be collected and shared; hence this blog.

[Any tips for fans who will be seeing skating live for the first time?]

Marvel at the speed of figure skating. Appreciate that even if someone falls down, it takes guts to perform for the world and it also takes years of hard work to be at center ice performing for you. I'd also like people to cheer for the favorites, but don't forget to clap and scream for the underdogs, the unknowns and the rivals.
