APTURIN, Italy - American Johnny Weir has been catching a few glances at the Winter Olympics. The Delaware resident was wearing a red warm-up jacket with “C-C-C-P” on it during a practice session today.
Those are the Cyrillic initials for the former Soviet Union.
The three-time U-S men’s figure skating champion says he got it from Russian pairs skater Tatiana Totmianina as a birthday present.
He says it’s just for fun, the same as if someone was wearing a Madonna T-shirt.
