Rarely do sports broadcasters outshine the stars. But Olympic figure skating’s very sparkly Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski (quite literally) do.

Four years ago, NBC paired the two former Olympic skaters with Terry Gannon to be Sochi’s second team of figure skating commentators. Through a cocktail of flash, chemistry, and pure energy, Weir and Lipinski became the Internet’s darlings, the main draw of a sport that lacks the crown-jewel-of-the-Winter-Olympics luster it once had, and, most importantly, each others’ best friend.
