In Vancouver, figure skater Johnny Weir competed in his last winter Olympics.

Fans of his reality show on the Sundance Channel, "Be Good Johnny Weir," know that the road to Vancouver was a tough one for the athlete.

Leading up to the Olympics, Weir made headlines after fur activists objected to his use of fur on his skating costume and made threats on the athlete. Even after Weir agreed to remove it, the threats apparently continued and Weir decided to stay within the relative security of the Olympic village.

It was during the Olympics, though, when Weir's scores disappointed fans. To them, it seemed Weir was punished for opting for artistic value over the more obvious displays of athletic prowess shown by his competitors, Evan Lysacek and Evgeni Plushenko. Weir says there's more to the story.
