At the recent figure skating National Championships, Johnny Weir, who placed third and received a berth to the U.S. Olympic team sparked controversy over a piece of fox fur on his long program costume. Weir announced yesterday that he would remove the fur from his costume in order to stop the threats by animal activist groups of disrupting his Olympic performance.
The most medals won by any athlete at the Winter Olympic Games is 12 by cross-country skier Bjorn Dählie of Norway.
12 athletes have won Olympic medals while representing two distinctly different countries, but it has never happened at the Winter Games.
