Figure skating legend Johnny Weir made his reality TV return in 2026 with an appearance on season 4 of The Traitors. But reality fans might not be familiar with Weir's lengthy resume on the ice. Though he actually started as an equestrian, Weir began skating at age 12, inspired by Kristi Yamaguchi's 1992 gold medal-winning performance at the Albertville Winter Olympics. A two-time Olympian himself and a six-time medalist at the U.S. championships, Weir competed professionally for more than two decades and became one of the most outspoken athletes in the sport's history.
