About Evan Lysacek

Born: Evan Lysacek, Chicago, IL, June 4, 1985

Known for: Winning the Gold Medal in the 2010 Winter Olympics for Men's Figure Skating

Evan won the 2010 gold medal in the winter Olympics for men’s figure skating, beating friend and arch-nemesis Plushenko. Lysacek won without doing the so-called all-important quadruple jump, causing some griping from his rival: If the Olympic champion doesn't know how to jump a quad, I don't know, Plushenko said. Now it's not men's figure skating, now it's dancing. That must be why Evan will be Dancing with the Stars on that show's first episode of its new season airing Monday March 22nd!

Lysacek also won the 2009 World Championship in front of his adopted hometown crowd in Los Angeles. Lysacek ignited the Staples Center with two flawless performances, beating out Brian Joubert of France and Patrick Chan of Canada for his first World title.

He was the 2005 and 2007 Four Continents Champion, 2007 and 2008 U.S. National Champion and the 2009/2010 Grand Prix Final Champion. In the 2006 winter Olympics, Lysacek placed 4th in the men's event.

Recent gossip over his relationship with Team USA gymnast Nastia Liukin has the Net searching for answers. A People article originally noted that the couple were a pair. Pretty cool, and a Golden couple they are, since each have a Gold medal at the Olympics to their name.

But scandal, or perhaps heartbreak, brews: Huffington Post has pointed out that the People article has changed: And now People has changed its story. The article now says that only Liukin -- and not 'the couple' -- have confirmed the relationship. If that's not enough, Evan also apparently told ET recently that I'm single. I haven't had any time for dating while I'm training. I'm lonely.

A few other facts:

* Lysacek is the first U.S. man to win Worlds in 13 years when he took the title in 2009.
* Lysacek began skating at age 8. His grandmother had always wanted to be in the Ice Capades, so she bought him skates for Christmas.
* In 2003, Lysacek moved to California to train with coach Frank Carroll, who also trained Michelle Kwan.
* Lysacek has acting experience and appeared in a skating movie. Skate Great!
* Lysacek missed the 2008 World Championships due to an injury: while attempting a triple axel, the blade broke off of his boot and he injured the whole left side of his body, requiring a cast.
* Evan uses Yoga as part of his training: Even just 10 minutes makes a difference, he says, I can definitely feel it.
