In wishing the reigning Olympic Champion a Happy Birthday, I'd like to post one of his best freeskates: his 2006 Olympic Games freeskate to Carmen. With this courageous freeskate, he moved up from 10th after a disastrous short program to coming up just short of a medal in 4th behind bronze medalist Jeffrey Buttle of Canada. This is one of my favorites! Evan was always a phenomenal competitor, who truly knew how to rise to the occasion. This performance makes me want to clap! As Sandra Bezic says, "...he sustained the emotional commitment from beginning to end...brilliant!"
Happy 27th Birthday, Evan!
