Episode 332 - Johnny Weir Interview

from Off The Podium - An Olympics Podcast · host Ben Waterworth & Colin Hilding

It's time for an absolutely MASSIVE interview today as we are delighted to bring you a chat with American figure skating legend and two-time Olympian Johnny Weir to learn more about his iconic career both on and off the ice! We find out from Johnny just which other Olympic sport he could've become a household name in and just how he was able to turn something unique into ice in order to teach himself to skate. We also learn from him all the incredible obstacles he had to overcome in order to make it to the Olympics, and just how an almost forgotten multi-sport event he attended in Australia helped him prepare for his debut Olympics in 2006. Added to this we learn his other unique Australian story and his connection to a very famous Australian broadcaster, why toilet seats are important in his Olympic journey and how Will Ferrell might be his biggest fan. If there's one interview you can't miss this year it's this one, so get to listening and get excited!
