The Johnny Weir Skating Academy?

[YukiNieve]

When I talked with Gracie at Ice On Fire in early June and asked her about JWSA, she told me that she will teach there part-time. I am not sure if her plan changed since then.

Johnny and Megan did an Instagram Live earlier today and answered many questions about the Academy: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cu2_Cqeqvkn/

During the Live they said they're not ready to name the third member of their coaching team just yet.

Misha’s career on the ice began by chance. After his pediatrician recommended Misha take up ice sports at age 4 to improve his health, his parents took him to their local rink in Odesa. After a few years of recreational skating, Misha fell in love with jumping especially, and wanted to reach for the stars from center ice. At his career’s peak, under the tutelage of Ukrainian National Coach Georgi Starkov, Misha competed internationally for his beloved Ukraine and excelled especially, in jumping and skating skills. Misha says that his professional career taught him more about his abilities and his strengths than his time on competitive ice. When he’s not on the ice, Misha enjoys studying psychology, taking walks in nature and spending time with his family, no matter how far apart they are. In recent years, Misha and his family have been safe in Romania after fleeing their home city of Odesa and we are proud to welcome him to America.
