In 2010, an Olympic gold medal in figure skating qualifies you for two distinctions: 1) undisputed world champion; 2) salsa-dancing wannabe — at least in the eyes of Dancing with the Stars ‘s judging panel. Evan Lysacek may have cleaned up in Vancouver last February against ferocious competitors Johnny Weir and Russia’s hilarious Evgeni Plushenko , but he’s just as vulnerable to America’s vote on DWTS ‘s 10th season. Last week the 24-year-old athlete suffered a slight concussion when preparing to samba with partner Anna Trebunskaya, recovering enough to earn a score of 21, his lowest yet. Just yesterday, he triumphed with a perfect 30 during his Argentine Tango. It appears Lysacek is back in the game. Movieline caught up with the gold medalist last week to discuss Dancing with the Stars , transitioning into acting roles, and Johnny Weir’s pesky snipes.
