2010 Olympic Champion Evan Lysacek Not Competing for Remainder of 2010

(9/2/10) - Evan Lysacek, the 2010 Olympic and two-time U.S. champion, announced today he will not compete for the remainder of 2010 and will instead take time off from competition to pursue other interests.

He has not ruled out competing at the 2011 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, Jan. 22-30 in Greensboro, N.C.

Lysacek has not ruled out a return to international competition.

"The 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi (Russia) are still very much on my radar," Lysacek said. "I have not decided yet if I will try to compete at another Games, but I'm definitely keeping that option open."

He's going to be in a documentary about US figure skating's 1961 tragedy. (Title is "RISE")
He's also skating in in the DWTS tour as well as Disson's "Improv-Ice" and "Skating & Gmnastics Spectacular."
