Johnny Weir, Tara Lipinski, and Tanith Belbin will be joining NBC for their coverage of the Winter Games this February.
Weir is a two-time Olympian who announced his retirement today. Lipinski became the youngest gold medalist in Winter Games history with her win in Nagano in 1998 at age 15. Belbin won silver in ice dancing at the 2006 Torino Games.
Jim Bell, executive producer of NBC Olympics, said in a release that all three "have entertained judges and fans alike with their skill, style, and charisma."
"We’re confident those same characteristics will entertain Olympic viewers this February."
Earlier in the week, NBC announced they will be ramping up promotion of the Games beginning next Tuesday with 100 days to the Games, including a 20-channel "promotional roadblock" in the 8 p.m. Eastern hour.
