Be Good Johnny Weir

Johnny prepares for the 2008 World Championships in Sweden with a new coaching team: Galina Zmievskaya who taught Johnny's idol Oksana Baiul. In Sweden, with his first World medal on the line, Galina pushes Johnny hard in the competition.

Johnny is performing consistently and well, but his momentum is halted when he falls extremely ill in Korea over Christmas and is hospitalized.

The life of a competitive skater entails no small amount of sacrifice. On the personal side, Johnny's pursuit of gold has meant giving up friendships, relationships or anything remotely resembling a normal life.

Just a few weeks before his first competitive event of the Olympic season, Galina insists that Johnny test out his new short program at a charity show. The first event of the season, the 2009 Cup of Russia, has special meaning for Johnny.

The pressure is mounting. Galina assures Johnny that his preparation is good but when he arrives in Nagano he faces strong American and Japanese competition. Nursing a terrible cold, Johnny struggles to prepare for the competition.

Back from Nagano, Johnny continues his training in the hopes of making the trip back to Japan for the Grand Prix Final. As the results from Skate Canada come in, Johnny finds out he has made the Final.
