The 2018 Winter Olympics have arrived and the spotlight isn't only on the athletes.

The world is keeping a close eye on the skills, performance, and fashion of announcers, too, and on day one of competitions when people wanted a hot new Olympics meme Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski volunteered as tribute.

The professional figured skaters showed up looking like announcers for The Hunger Games and Twitter was shook.

The two got their hair did and busted out their best maroon sequins numbers for the big night. It was straight up Caesar Flickerman and Effie Trinket in that arena.

If a network tv show had a gay character the check as many stereotype buttons as Weir, they'd be run off the air by the gaykk in a week.
