Evan Lysacek News and Update - Determination to Win

[Athena]

Here's the clip: http://www.whosay.com/evanlysacek/videos/57524

Awesome, I watched it 3 times and it's fully rotated, clean as whistle and sharp as razors!

All the hard work pays off.

Thank you Evan, that totally made my day!

[Athena]

Anybody can recognize the background music in the video?

[sassybuford]

Someone in the comments section said it was a Dvorak Cello Concerto, but I'm not certain if that is correct.

Unfortunately I can't watch it, is the video posted somewhere else, youtube maybe?

If that rink is the East West Ice Palace in Artesia, Calif., then the music could have been Caroline Zhang's FS run through -- she kept her FS from last year to the Dvorak Cello Concerto (ETA: It is the Dvorak music, as LKR has posted below).

Re. missing Champs Camp: As long as Lysacek has made arrangements ahead of time with the necessary USFS folks, I can't imagine it would be a problem for him.

It is.

I think you've got the rink correct. It sure looks like that's where he was.

in NYC, adults mentally add the words "...in bed" to the end of the phrase to give the fortune a whole new meaning!

Or, alternately, "if you'd only shut up".

I hope you're right. I kept trying to freeze-frame it and while it looked about a 1/3 short, the image was blurry.

Thanks.

By the way, the rink is East West Ice Palace, one of Evan's 'home rinks', I've been there couple of times.

Never heard of that in NYC. Where did you learn it?

[kwanfan1818]

From a friend from the city.

[Athena]

Vera is in LA. The wedding dress she designed for Kim Kardashian is gorgeous. Maybe she'll spend some time with Evan to work on his new costumes as well?

[sassybuford]

I've heard that yes, Vera will creating Evan's costumes again this season. Probably in black.

[Athena]

Thank you, that's great! Just in case the other thread will be ruined by you know who, here's a backup.

Evan's new tweet , he's in great shape, I just hope he would stay healthy, then he'll have a season.

A new combo I've been working on. http://t.co/Uxh6TQz

Question: is it COP savvy to do it in competition? IIRC, the second jump in seq only get 80% of the base value, right? In that case, he won't get enough credit for the second jump even though it's a lot more difficult to do it after the 3A.

Never mind, it's been answered here.

I like black costumes for men, besides black has been a lucky colour for Evan, I would say....

Got this as Google alert today:

Evan visiting top golf in his hometown plus an interview. I really like his voice!!! It has such a nice and friendly sound.

[sassybuford]

Isn't that from earlier this year, though? The scores scrolling on the bottom of that clip are from college basketball games, so it's not a current clip. Wonder why it showed up in Google alerts now?

[FigureSpins]

Google alerts often include older stuff. I receive fs alerts in July or August with news about Joannie Rochette's mother, as if she had just passed away that day. The links sometimes go to old articles, so you have to read the posting date carefully. I had someone rip me online for posting what was news to me about something, but the article was not only old news, the date on it was current! I think the websites sometimes repost articles with more recent dates, just to get traffic.

[sassybuford]

Thanks for the info. I don't use Google Alerts, so had no idea how they worked. Sounds like they can be confusing, though!
