For the first time in his career, Weir changed his free skating program mid- season shortly before the Olympics, from “a techno medley” written by Croatian pianist Maksim Mrvica to “Otoñal” by Argentine pianist Raúl Di Blasio, which Weir used the previous season. He stated that although he had performed the program well, he was bored with it and felt it lacked passion and power. Commentator and former Olympic gold medalist Dick Button agreed, stating that the newer program “was not good enough for him”. Weir’s coach and mother admitted that Weir felt nervous about competing at the Olympics, and was uneasy about competing against Plushenko, but he was called “the breakthrough personality of the Games”. It was the first time Weir’s father John Weir, who had difficulty traveling after a disabling car accident in 1984, attended one of his son’s competitions since Weir was a novice. Weir received death threats during the Olympics and received “nasty e-mails” for several months afterwards, personal attacks that “targeted his love for things Russian and even his sexual preferences”.
