15th Jan 2006, 00:48 GMT
Even when Johnny Weir isn't as majestic as usual, he's good enough to beat the American men and earn a spot in the Olympics. Weir won his third straight U.S. Figure Skating Championships crown Saturday night despite finishing third in the free skate. The national champion automatically gets a berth for the Turin Games, where Weir will need to amp up the showmanship that is his trademark if he hopes to win a medal. "Being the third-time national champion is really an awesome feat," Weir said.
