Mervin Tran competed in provincial track and field growing up in Canada (high jump and 100 meter hurdles).
As most Johnny Weir fans know, he was an accomplished equestrian as a youngster. At the age of 11 or 12, he had to choose between figure skating vs continuing his competitive equestrian career. Of course, he chose figure skating, and won the Junior World championships at the age of 16. I recently saw on Johnny's Instagram that in his off-time, he has been learning acrobatic horseback riding. He posted some clips, and he looks really good. I wonder if it will remain just a hobby in his off-time, or if he will take this fun exploration further.
