Weir Takes His Final On-Ice Bows - U.S. Figure Skating Fan Zone

For Johnny Weir, it all began in a cornfield, and – metaphorically speaking, at least -– it ended there, too.

After a decade plus of balancing television appearances and commentating with touring and show commitments, the three-time U.S. champion (2004-06) said goodbye to his U.S. performing career with two sold-out shows at Skating Club of Wilmington (SCW) March 31-April 1.

He also talks about his new training academy.

"We will train people in a group format and have that sense of camaraderie and teamwork and supporting each other," Weir said. "I will have two people alongside to help me and to travel to competitions, so that I could commentate (but also) be sure that somebody is always there with my students."
