I'm not surprised. I also think he won't come back.

The official USFS press release is now published online: 2010 Olympic Champion Evan Lysacek Not Competing for Remainder of 2010
However...
Guess he registered by the Sept. 1st USFS qualifying season deadline.He has not ruled out competing at the 2011 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, Jan. 22-30 in Greensboro, N.C.

I definitely don't expect to see Evan competing at 2011 Nationals, and would be very surprised to ever see him compete again at all.

Totally not shocked. I would have been really surprised to see him compete this year. Not that he had GPs; it would have just been Nationals/Worlds.

Wise decision. Though I doubt we'll see him back, I would not rule out the possibility. Evan seems to be the type who enjoys rigorous routine and structure- he might miss it and decide to train again.

IA. I don't think it's likely we'll see him again but he really does seem to thrive off of competition and structure so I do not think it's completely out the realm of possibility. Originally Posted by dinakt

And to me it's far less obnoxious than retiring and coming back repeatedly, like certain athletes in other sports have done. Originally Posted by RD

Meh.
You win an Olympic medal, go see if you can make money off of it and when the money and opportunities run dry you return to skating if your body will let you and you feel like you can dedicate yourself to the training.
The situation's not complicated to decipher and is the path for a lot of skaters.
I think we'll see him back. He's cool with training hard and he'll grow weary of life on the D-List. I don't see him coaching or doing choreo either.
