Plot Synopsis

Three-time U.S. National Figure Skating Champion and World Medalist Johnny Weir is one of America's most outspoken and colorful sports figures. Bright, quick-witted and extroverted, Weir is as comfortable walking in a downtown New York fashion show as he is on the ice, and he is known for giving candid, irreverent, responses at press events. Even though he was heavily favored going into the 2006 Torino Winter Olympics, he finished a disappointing fifth, teaching him that talent alone does not make a champion. This series follows Weir as he competes all over the globe, culminating in his appearance at the U.S. Men's Nationals in January, where he knows he must dig deep if he is to secure what may be his last chance at a place on a U.S. Olympic team. It is here that Weir will learn whether or not he will be able to fulfill his dream of Olympic glory and gold in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
