Evan Lysacek Olympics Quotations

I am so excited to come in second in the competition, but if just one of those minor mistakes that I made would have not been there, it would have made up that less than one point to first. I am so honored; the Olympics has been a life-long dream. I know that I have a ton of work ahead of me, but it is work I have been waiting my entire life to do.

The Olympics has been a life-long dream. I know that I have a ton of work ahead of me, but it is work I have been waiting my entire life to do.

It's hard because I dreamed about the Olympics for upwards of a decade. And that dream didn't include getting sick with a stomach flu, getting stuck with IVs, having my veins collapse and falling in the short program. It became about something different ... courage.

I'll definitely keep going. I'm learning about the sport and the Olympics and world championships. To come out and burst on the scene and get a medal doesn't seem realistic.

I didn't know exactly what it meant. At the time I was doing the Junior Olympics I thought, ?Well, I won that, how hard can it be to do this other Olympics? It's just another step.
