[edit] Personal Life

Michael Weiss was born in Washington, DC and comes from an athletic family. Weiss's father, Greg, was a gymnast on the 1964 Olympic team. Weiss's mother, Margie, was also a gymnast and national champion. His sister Geremi was a figure skater and junior national silver medalist; his other sister, Genna, was junior world diving champion.

Weiss holds an associate's degree in business marketing from Prince George's College. He was a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.

Weiss and his wife Lisa have two children: Annie-Mae and Christopher.[1]

[edit] Career

Weiss began skating at the age of nine. He has competed 19 consecutive times at the U.S. Championships. He was the first American to land a quadruple toe loop in competition and has been coached by Don Laws and Audrey Weisiger.

Weiss is the only skater to perform the Tornado, a backflip with a full twist, which he created. It is not allowed in competition, but it is a crowd favorite in exhibitions.

Weiss turned professional in 2006. He toured with Stars On Ice and has competed in Ice Wars.

[edit] Michael Weiss Foundation

While still an eligible skater, Weiss started the Michael Weiss Foundation, which gives scholarships to up-and-coming figure skaters. Skaters who have received scholarships include Madison and Keiffer Hubbell, Daisuke Murakami, and Christine Zukowski.[2]
