Evan Lysacek is a former figure skater who won a gold medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. He was the first American man to win Olympic figure skating gold since Brian Boitano in 1988. Lysacek did not compete in the two skating seasons that followed his Olympic triumph. He attempted to return in time to qualify for the 2014 Sochi Olympics, but he sustained a number of injuries during his training. In December 2013 he announced that he would not be able to defend his Olympic gold medal. In 2016 he was inducted into the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame.
Many of Lysacek’s skating outfits were designed by Vera Wang, and from 2015 to 2019 he worked for her company, at one point serving as vice president of creative services. He later was involved in various real estate ventures. In 2019 Lysacek married Dang Bodiratnangkura, a real estate developer from Thailand.
