The Johnny Weir media blitz: The Olympian pays visits to Joy Behar, Larry King and Regis & Kelly
Those two homophobic French broadcasters who made such disparaging remarks about Olympian Johnny Weir last week managed to only increase interest in this well-spoken and very fabulous figure skater.
I also love that Johnny reminded folks of just what a great athlete he is – that all professional figure skaters are: “I challenge any football player, any hockey player, to do what I do for one day and not cry.”
On Regis & Kelly, Johnny addressed his scores at the Olympics where he finished sixth despite a flawless program: There are people that judge me that are several generations older than me,” he lamented on Live with Regis & Kelly. “I can’t always please those people because I am very out there for the average skating judge. What I was so happy with at the Olympics was the way I skated. All that hard work [gave me] that moment when I could feel the audience on that journey with me.”

I think this man is the ideal role model for many young kids. He is intelligent and true to himself. He is right in saying that other atheletes could not stand up to the rigors of ice skating.I know he is successful now and will be no matter what he does in the future.

He hit it right on the nose when he said and “not cry”!
