The news was made official right from the Olympic champion, who, a few weeks ago, he had been forced to give up even at the U.S. International Figure Skating Classic because of a problem in the abdomen.
In this case, the cause of the lump sum would be a likely injury to the acetabular labrum of the left hip, injury, however, is bound up in the previous one.
It is notable as the Chicago native, now twenty-eight, is absent from the sports competitions since February 2010, when Vancouver won success in the twenty-first edition of the Olympics. Since then, filed a lengthy sabbatical, have followed the package due to disparate physical problems (particularly the groin and abdominal muscles in the groin area).
Once you have found the full physical integrity, the student of Frank Carroll, at least in words always determined to defend the Olympic title, will necessarily have to compete in a second level to reach the thresholds of eligibility. However, if on the one hand to overcome the technical limitations are announcing a formality (25 points for the short-programm and 45 for the free program), on the other hand is much more difficult to find an international tender in which to take part. The two hypotheses could be viable ones to participate in the Ice Challenge in Graz (19-24 November) or at the Golden Spin of Zagreb (5-8 December).
It goes without saying that the presence at the next Olympics passes through a placing in the top two national championships in Boston, far from scontato.Lysacek result, today pledged to Park City in a meeting between the U.S. Olympic Committee, and journalists, is and then spoke with some reporters releasing the following statement: "I do not give up. I feel disappointed, I'm in pieces, but not yet defeated. Certainly, it is not easy to remain optimistic, but I did not jot down. I always said that I would come back to race and I did it for one simple reason: I love to skate and love the competition "
 On the sidelines, also denied the suggestion that the news of the return to racing has been used on purpose to please his personal sponsors, which include Coca-Cola and Ralph Lauren: "It is a story without foundation. E 'too hard to train every day just because some sponsors want you to do. Having said that, I have a great relationship with my sponsors.'s not forget that we are one of the few nations where the Olympic preparation is not funded by the government and therefore the sponsorizzzioni are critical to maintaining a high level of competitiveness. "
At present, the leading candidate to replace Lysacek at Skate America should be Jason Brown, fresh from the place of honor in the Nebelhorn Trophy in Oberstdorf. The choice, in this case, it's up to the U.S. federation organizing the event. The main alternative to the vice-champion Stephane Carriere iridiato juniors should be on the podium in the recent U.S. International Figure Skating Classic in Salt Lake City.
UPDATE - At 21:30, Italian time, the U.S. Fed announced that Jason Brown will take part at Skate America.
