"But with a little help from my friends, I found the light at tunnel at the end."
Quote from this article:
Lysacek had spent almost all day with Carroll. Throughout the hours leading up to the free skate, it was Carroll who was trying to calm Lysacek's nerves. But he also tried to guard Lysacek about thinking too far ahead or about results.
In the end, Lysacek did what Carroll has seen him do time and again in practice: skate a clean program. This time, however, it was good enough for Olympic gold.
Said Lysacek: "I'd say today was 99 percent him and one percent me.''
You guys! How adorable can they get?!
The article even adds a little bit of Lori Nichol to the mix.
Best fricking team ever.
