On a bitterly cold winter day, on the frozen cornfield behind his house, Johnny became obsessed with ice for the first time. That year, Johnny got a pair of second-hand skates as a Christmas present, which made him very excited. His parents were very happy to see Johnny put on these shoes and slide among the frozen corn stalks. His parents agreed to let him take group skating classes at the University of Delaware.
At the end of the first class, Johnny was supposed to practice solitaire with other students, but Johnny decided to practice jumping instead. In his basement, he had done a pretty good job, but that was completely different from the smooth surface of the ice! However, Johnny's extraordinary progress soon became apparent. After just three sessions, the coach told his mother that her son had a future and would be better off training alone.
For Johnny, it is indeed difficult to choose between equestrian and figure skating. After all, he has achieved many good results in equestrian competitions. But in the end, he chose to skate.
A former rider, but ultimately chose skating. In his first year of figure skating, Johnny passed the test and was promoted to the junior division (juvenile division), and participated in both single and pairs skating in the Junior Olympics (partnering with Rodi Rudden). Johnny and Jodi moved up to intermediate pairs and qualified for the Junior Olympics again. But in the following season, Johnny gave up pairs skating and began to concentrate on practicing single skills.

In the summer of that year, Johnny worked hard to prepare for the senior freestyle promotion test and successfully passed it. As a senior player, his "debut" was at the 2001 State Farm U.S. Championships in Boston. It was a good match and ended up in sixth place.
In terms of international competitions, Johnny was still a youth player and participated in two Youth Grand Prix races in the 2000-2001 season, ranking sixth and second respectively. On March 1, 2001, Johnny won the World Junior Championships. This was a satisfying year.
The following season, Johnny successively participated in domestic and international adult events: 10th in the 2001 Goodwill Games, 7th in Skate Canada, Trophée Lalique in France ) No. 4.
At the 2002 Los Angeles U.S. Championships, Johnny went one step further than the previous year, ranking 4th in the short program and finally finishing 5th. Therefore, that year he also became a substitute for the U.S. national team at the World Championships and Winter Olympics. He then competed in another senior event, the Four Continents Championships. That time, Johnny just missed out on the medal and finished fourth.
In the 2002 Four Continents Championship, Weir missed the podium by just one point. During the 2003-2004 season, Johnny hit back at all his critics.

The first U.S. gold medal and three consecutive U.S. championships.
Then at the World Championships in Dortmund, Germany, he finished an impressive 5th.
In the 2004-2005 season, Johnny shined in a series of Grand Prix races, winning two gold medals and one silver medal. Following his excellent results in the fall of 2004, he successfully defended his title at the 2005 National Championships in Portland, Oregon. After that, he has great expectations for the World Championships that will be held in Moscow, Russia. But in the end, a foot injury hampered his original plan and he finished fourth. But he's still proud of himself for overcoming the pain.
In the 2008 National Championships, after losing to the United States the previous year, Jonny learned from the experience and started over. He moved, got a new coach, and slightly changed his action style. During the long program "Love Is War", he cried bitterly while thinking about his experiences over the past year. In the end, the program was completed brilliantly. At the end of the curtain call, he knelt down and thanked the coaches outside the field. In the end, he won the second place with the same score of 244.77 as the first place. Season Short Program Long Program Exhibition 2009-2010 I Love You, I Hate You
