John Garvin Weir (born July 2, 1984) is an American figure skater, fashion designer, and television commentator. He is a two-time Olympian, the 2008 World bronze medalist, a two-time Grand Prix Final bronze medalist, the 2001 World Junior Champion, and a three-time U.S. national champion (2004–2006). He is also known for his sports commentary with Tara Lipinski, as well as his work in LGBTQ activism.
Weir was born on July 2, 1984 in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, the eldest son of John, a nuclear power plant engineer, and Patti Weir (née Moore), a nuclear power plant worker and home inspector. He is of Norwegian heritage, and has one brother, Brian "Boz" Weir, who is four years younger. Weir was raised in Quarryville, Pennsylvania, a rural town in Amish-dominated central Pennsylvania. Like his father, who had competed in English saddle events, he was "an accomplished rider" by the time he was nine years old, winning several equestrian competitions and competing in the Devon Horse Show with his "dapple gray Arabian horse-cross Shetland pony named Shadow". Weir became so successful, despite his young age and small size, his family moved to Little Britain, Connecticut so he could train. He later stated that horse riding prepared him to be a figure skater by giving him body awareness.
