Evan Lysacek enjoys new line of work, misses figure skating

Evan Lysacek showed up at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships with a smart phone in each hand.

“But I have three,” he said. “I answer them at any time, day or night.”

The calls aren’t about skating competitions anymore.

Lysacek, the last U.S. skater to earn individual World Championships and Olympic medals (gold at each in 2009 and 2010), prematurely ended his career in 2014 due to injuries that kept him from trying to make the Sochi Olympic team.

When he left the sport, he first took a real estate job in New York.
