The Johnny Weir Blackball
We've always had some fun with "flamboyant" and "unconventional" men's figure skater Johnny Weir around here; during the Olympics, we found him one of the few high-profile athletes with legitimate personality. (Or "flair," if you will.) More »

First Dunk Face submission comes from Deadspin reader Mike from Boston, who catered to the world's fascination with the figure skating princess and put together this dazzling little photo for our enjoyment. We'll call this Dunk Face, "Sassy." More »

Johnny Weir Has Had It Up To Here With Your "Rules"

We don't mean on the ice, of course, though he is in second place after the short program. We mean during his interviews, in which Weir preened and vowed that he is not a diva, while wearing Southeast Jerome sunglasses and wearing a CCCP sweatshirt. He was In fact, he's rocking the establishment in a truly FAB-u-LOUS! way. More »

Inside The Mind Of Johnny Weir
Because we have this fear that the Olympics is going to last two weeks and we're not going to understand a single thing that's happening, we've decided to ride this Johnny Weir fellow for a while. (So to speak.) More »
