gotosy Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Olympic champion Evan Lysacek is returning to competitive figure skating. Lysacek announced Friday that he is entered at Skate America, his first competition since winning the gold medal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. He says he wants to defend his title at the 2014 Sochi Games - something no man has done since Dick Button in 1952. Lysacek has always left the door open for a comeback, and he was assigned to two Grand Prix competitions last year. But negotiations with U.S. Figure Skating hit a snag, and he wound up not competing. Lysacek's return is sure to be a boost for the Americans, who are down to just two spots at the world championships after having three from 2005 to 2011. No American has finished higher than fifth the past three years. AP http://sportsillustr...urns/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotosy Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Plushenko Confirms Retirement After Sochi 2014 ST. PETERSBURG, November 6 (R-Sport) - Russian figure skating star Evgeni Plushenko said Tuesday he is hanging up the blades after Sochi 2014. Plushenko made the expected announcement ahead of a jubilee show dedicated to his 30th birthday in St. Petersburg. "If everything goes well, then I'll finish my amateur career after Sochi," the 2006 Olympic champion said. "After next season I'll end my career and retire." Plushenko is returning to competition after a knee operation in the wake of the European championships in January, where he won the gold medal. He came fourth in the team-based Japan Open last month, won by local star Daisuke Takahashi, and next skates in the Russian championships in Sochi in December. http://en.ria.ru/spo.../177232454.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
