Johnny Weir’s tweet-powered brooch is the real star of the Kentucky Derby

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Johnny Weir is a national treasure. The former Olympic figure skater has the ability to bring an element of flair to any situation and because he’s at the Kentucky Derby he brought something a little special.
