I am just curious, why does everyone hate Lysacek so much? I get that he doesn't have a solid consistent quad. But neither does Takahashi, Kozuka, Abbott, Amodio, Brown, or Miner, all of whom seem to get more appreciation here. I don't understand the level of hatred Evan seems to inspire.
I don't understand it either. I think he held it together in a high-pressure situation in Vancouver. He's got the best record of any American man in the last decade or so, and if he wants to try to come back, he has every right to give it the effort. If there's someone who can do better, by all means let's give it to that guy, but so far no one has shown up with that level of excellence.
