Skate Canada 2005 was a scary event for American Johnny Weir. The reigning mens national champion sprained his left ankle during the long program but continued to skate even though it was obvious that something was wrong. Afterwards, he cried not only because of the physical pain but also out of the fear that his Olympic season might be over. Fortunately for Weir, the sprain turned out to be minor, and he soon was cleared to skate again.Weir started skating at the relatively late age of 12 after seeing Oksana Baiul on television. His talent was evident after just three group lessons, and his parents were approached about private instruction. During his first year, he made it to the Junior Olympics as both a singles skater and as a pairs skater. He became the World Junior Champion in 2001.
