He is currently the World Champion for 2009 and the Grand Prix Final Champion for 2009/2010. He was a member of the U.S. Olympic Team at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy where he finished 4th in the Men’s figure skating event. In March 2009 he became the first American man since Todd Eldredge (who won in 1996) to win the World Figure Skating Championship. He was the US Olympic Committee’s Male Athlete of the Month for November 2006 and March 2009. He is currently ranked 2nd in the world for Men’s figure skating and is a favorite to medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Evan has been skating since the age of 8 and medaled at several of the U.S. Junior Figure Skating Championships. His rivalry with fellow U.S. Men’s Figure Skater Johnny Weir was the focus of the 2006 Winter Olympics. Evan skated with the flu and still managed to secure 4th place just off the medal stand. He has stated that his next goal is to win the gold medal in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Evan is one of the tallest figure skaters with a height of 6 feet 2 inches.

Evan Lysacek is a rising star in Men’s Figure Skating. In 2009 he won the gold medal at 2009 Skate America in his sixth time to compete in Skate America. At the Grand Prix Final, Lysacek placed second in the short program and won the free skating to win the title overall. He became the second consecutive American to win the title, following Jeremy Abbott's win the year before. He is a favorite to medal at the 2010 Olympic Winter games which will be his second Olympics. He represented the U.S. Team in 2006 in Torino, Italy. He is the 2009 World Champion, the 2005 and 2007 Four Continents Champion, and the 2007 and 2008 U.S. National Champion.

He was named to the 2010 Olympic team in January 2010.

On his choreographer Lori Nichol "Lori has been instrumental in the growth of my career, because she is able to see a skater's strength, bring it out and highlight that strength," says Evan, a two-time U.S. Champion. "For so long, because I'm so much taller than the other skaters, I tried to camouflage that and do things that made me look like I wasn't so long and tall. She was one of the first people that said, 'That's what sets you apart and makes you different.' She brought out a creativity and a confidence in my skating." http://www.figureskatersonline.com/evanlysacek/stats.html

"Go and fight every day, no matter what's happened the day before or what might happen," he says. "Don't think about the past or the future-stay in the present." http://www.figureskatersonline.com/evanlysacek/stats.html

On his coach Frank Carroll "Frank was the coach that said he believed I could make the 2006 Olympic team," Evan says. "The traits I really appreciate and respect in him are his loyalty, honesty and down to earth quality. To this day, I'm still learning from him. He has so much experience in life and so much knowledge about the sport."http://www.figureskatersonline.com/evanlysacek/stats.html

"My goals are about training," says Evan, who is confident in his technique. "It's great to win competitions and I feel really good about winning, but I also feel a sense of pride every day now from going into the rink and working hard. It feels good to give it everything you have every day. That's just as rewarding to me as winning. As far as long-term goals, obviously winning the Olympic gold medal in 2010 is a huge goal I've been working towards my entire life. I've realized what the process is to accomplish it. I'm looking forward to it, but I am realistic. It takes a lot of confidence and determination. Those are hopefully things I'm building mentally each day."http://www.figureskatersonline.com/evanlysacek/stats.html
