Johnny Weir......
I would argue that while figure skating is easily the most flamboyant of the men's sport, there has always been this almost self conscious urge to suppress/deny this fact as much as is realistically possible.
This guy skips the charade in a big way and I LOVE it. I think he is what the sport needs. Like a true American, he has a serious personality on and off the ice and he really doesn't care whose feathers he ruffles. I think there is a certain honesty in that.
If he's a little much for the Americans, the Koreans seem to love him anyway. This clip is definitely worth watching...
Another funny tidbit - he loves everything Russian and insists his coaches speak to him in Russian all the time.
