Nastia Liukin had a firm hand in making Evan the first man to win a figure skating gold for USA, in 22 years last year. Liukin who herself is a gymnastics champion provided all necessary help to Lysacek win gold in 2010 Vancouver winter olympics.

The two met in October 2008 in Rapid City, S.D., while performing on the NBC particular Skating & Gymnastics Spectacular and has been dating since last summer.

Speaking on their relationship Lysacek says, “We became excellent friends and became truly close since”. The two attended ESPYs last July together and things progressed from there.

Evan Lysacek even went to Dallas to Cheer Liukin during her gymnastic reappearance at the U.S. Nationals in August, and then this month, the couple switched roles.

Speaking on Evans gold medal at Olympics, Liukin says, “It was amazing to see his dreams come true”. Nastia Liukin, 20, was also seen in a cameo last season on Gossip Girl.

When he completed his little program Tuesday night, Evgeny Plushenko from Russia twice imitated plying a sword and placing it back in the scabbard, as if he was a voyager who had stamped up the antagonism.

And with it the reigning Olympic champion, scored points that definitely will be hard for anyone to top. Russia’s Plushenko was first of the contestants to skate and retained his first number by putting up a mammoth score.

But the reigning world champion Evan Lysacek almost reached there, with his exhilarating performance with expressions of ecstasy.

Plushenko with his quad-triple jump mishmash and carrying out everything else with outdoing ease, racked up 90.85 points, which also is second highest ever after his very own world record of 91.30 points at last month’s European championships.

Evan Lysacek scored 90.30, and was hardly at the forefront of Japan’s Daisuke Takahashi who scored 90.25.
