Evan Lysacek remembers stepping on the ice at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, with 10 years of training behind him — and a high fever.
The day before, with an IV needle in a vein, he found himself thinking, "There's no way I'm going to be able to do this."
Then the 21-year-old figure skater drew himself up — and drew on sheer determination.
He told himself: "Look, I worked 10 years. If I go out and fall in everything in my whole program, it's still worth it to finish it. It's still worth it to get out there and have the courage and have the integrity to finish what I started."

Even with a fever, Lysacek went out and posted a personal-best score, finishing third in the free skate and fourth overall.
Lysacek will reprise his Olympic performance with international colleagues in the John Hancock Champions on Ice show at 3 and 8 p.m. Saturday at the Everett Events Center.
Many of the skaters will present their Olympic programs, such as Shizuka Arakawa's gold-medal triumph from her free-skate long program at the 2006 Winter Games. Gold medalist Evgeni Plushenko will recreate elements of his performance from this year's Games.
Between solos and two ensemble numbers will be comic skater Dan Hollander and ice acrobats Vladimir Besedin and Oleksiy Polishchuk. Armenian rings expert Irina Grigorian will do a novelty number.
But the focus is on the elite athletes, many of the biggest names in the sport: soloists Michelle Kwan, Sasha Cohen, Irina Slutskaya, Kimmie Meissner, Surya Bonaly, Victor Petrenko, Rudy Galindo, Johnny Weir and Stephane Lambiel, and pairs skaters Tatiana Totmianina and Maxim Marinin, Tanith Belbin and |
