Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski Reenact the Olympics

This is what happens when former Olympians covering the Games in Rio have a large, fancy hotel room, unlimited towels, and some time to kill.

The summer Olympics may not be the province of winter medalists Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir, but that doesn't mean that the two former figure skaters aren't destroying each event in Rio this year. They're just choosing to do them in their hotel room.

How nice it would be to be former Olympians covering the games, endowed with a large, fancy hotel room, unlimited towels, with some time to kill? Well, Weir and Lipinski decided to do their own recreations of the events in the bathtub, in the hallways, on the windowsill. It's great fun.

Some, uh, maybe track and field?

And what Olympics would be complete without a visit to Grandaddy Brokaw.

Solid gold.
