Scott Hamilton Zoom Talks with Skaters: Lysacek, Boitano, Gold & More
This talk/interview with Evan Lysacek has a slow start (talking about his wife and their activities), but when Scott gets down to the real subject, Evan's skating career, it's like a slow burn that gets better and brighter as it goes, piling on layers of meaning. Evan is the same quiet-spoken gentleman as ever; he gives everyone else credit and praise whenever he has a chance; he's full of admiration for Plushenko and his other competitors, so many of whom were already World Champions coming into the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
ETA: There's also a play-by-play of his high/low experience of being so sick (flu or virus) at the Torino 2006 Olympics and going ahead and competing the FS, when he might have withdrawn. I think it's pretty cool.
This was recorded on 6/21/20. It lives up to the billing of Scott and Kori's series of quarantine Zoom interviews: intimate, inspirational conversations.

ETA: they start talking about skating at the 10-minute mark.
