Paul Wylie: “He might have stolen the show. I thought he was everything he needed to be. All of the elements were very crisp. He is a machine, very well trained and he has a great opportunity for the gold against Plushenko.“
Tanya Lysacek, mother of Evan (on her reaction to Evan’s performance in the short program): “I was at the ’safe’ house (Procter & Gamble hospitality house). I found my own chair on the fourth floor in front of a television and had a glass of wine. I left the room for the minute when Evan’s program started, but then came back in…When I saw how fired up he was and I knew he was having a great skate. I was so relieved. The short program is ‘make it or break it’ and a little bit of a nemesis for him.”
Don Lysacek, father of Evan: “Four years ago we were in a much different spot. You can’t win a competition in the short program, but you can certainly lose it.”
Don Lysacek (on Evan’s skating style): “He’s a competitor. There are a lot of great skaters until the music starts. You can’t just be an artist.”
Sasha Cohen: “It was an inspirational performance. Evan swept the crowd away. It’s special to come to the Games and see him skate so well. He’s so solid, he’s got that fire.”
Jeremy Abbott: "Evan's consistency is something I admire. It takes a very strong mind to focus that intently and keep things on track all the time."
Brian Boitano: “Evan was spot on. That was the best triple axel I’ve ever seen from him.”
Todd Eldredge: “For those of us that are a part of the skating world, Evan is a guy that we expected to be right there at this Olympics, I wasn’t surprised at all to see him do so well. Evan is very consistent.” When asked to handicap the event, Eldredge said he wouldn’t be surprised to see any of the top five men walk away with the gold, but admitted that he’ll be rooting for his fellow American, Lysacek.
Frank Carroll (on Evan's Long Program): "The slow part came on and I started to almost get tears in my eyes because I couldn't believe he was doing something that could reach me emotionally with his gestures and his body movement to the music. I thought, 'Oh my God, if he can pull this off and people are affected the way I just was, it's going to be a remarkable piece.'"
Michelle Kwan (on the prediction): "My bid is on Evan!"
