That would be Johnny Weir (USA), the guy Scott Hamilton will be fawning over.
The world is now under four weeks away from the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, which means NBC will parade a never-ending stream of photogenic Americans in front of your face.
Lindsey Vonn is one of those American faces that will be shown from the Today Show to Jay Leno’s Tonight Show. Ms. Vonn is very deserving of the attention based on her world class downhill skiing skills and her beauty, which is obviously a hit with advertisers.
But there are many other faces at the Olympics that will be forgotten. Not by us.
This is our “14 Scariest Athletes Of The 2010 Olympic Games” post to show the world that all of your great athletes don’t have to look like Lindsey.
