ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - That greaser out there on the ice at Boardwalk Hall just might be the next U.S. men's figure skating star at the Olympics.
Coming off a rapid rise in the sport last season, Evan Lysacek could be the top American threat for a medal at February's Turin Games. Following a stunning third at the 2005 world championships after winning Four Continents and finishing third at nationals, Lysacek leads a strong men's field at Skate America beginning Thursday night.
He'll glide into the first event of the Grand Prix series dressed in a custom-designed black leather jacket that is a copy of something Elvis Presley once wore. Lysacek will portray Danny Zuko instead, as he skates to music from "Grease."
