The Olympics' hottest couple is not one of the figure skating or ice dancing pairs. No, it's newly crowned figure skating gold medalist Evan Lysacek and the darling of the Beijing Olympics, Nastia Liukin, who has a gold medal of her own in all-around gymnastics. Lysacek, 24, spoke of their relationship to People magazine, and said that they met at the Skating and Gymnastics Spectacular in fall 2008, but hasn't confirmed that they are dating. Liukin, 20, was there to see Lysacek win his gold, and Lysacek was on hand to support Liukin when she competed in August at the U.S. Championships.

He might look gay but Lysacek got himself a hottie.

[Essie]

Evan does not look gay! You’re jealous.

[C19fan]

I was sort of alluding to a lot Freepers think very male figure skater is gay. Yes I am jealous. :)

[GnuHere]

I’m female and guilty of assuming he was gay, I guess b/c of his voice. Sorry, dude.

[FelixFelicis]

Yeah, he comes off a little wimpy in interviews. But at least he seems like a nice enough guy unlike that jackass Plushenko.

[wolfcreek]

In a report NBC did on him, they said he made it a point to be masculine. Unusual for a figure skater.

[CaptainK]

He use to date the ice dancer Tanith Belbin

[GnuHere]

Yes, he seems like a genuinely nice guy and no doubt would have been more classy if the medals had been reversed.

[pissant]

His newest squeeze is a step down from this gal.

Johnny Weir is by far a lot more gay looking and acting compared to Evan.

[Salamander]

If he is gay, I will selflessly sacrifice my time attempting to convert him.

[CaptainK]

That could be due to the fact that Weir IS gay.

[CaptainK]

To be fair to his new girlfriend, she didn't get a FreeRepublic not guilty appropriate picture posted

[pissant]

not doing it for me.

In this case, my Hollywood gaydar calls ‘hottie’ a beard. Lysacek’s a fine skater, regardless.

Far more ‘masculine appearing’ celebs are gay than you could ever imagine.

The left hand railroad track rail in her photograph is slightly kinked at its far end.

Got to tell you ...that is one hard body. For now. Give it 20 years and it might not be as appealing.

What railroad track?

[Robert A Cook PE]

What railroad track?

Oh? What? Did I miss something?

Was there somethong else in the picture of the bent railroad track I should I noticed?

Why, you did not mention that several of the stakes holding the tracks in place were partially pulled up. Man, that track needs some periodic maintenance!
