 Evan Lysacek was originally coached by Candice Brown in Naperville . After that , he worked with Deborah <unk> in Naperville , Illinois and Addison , Illinois for three years . For the next two years , he had an arrangement where he would train under both Addison @-@ based Maria <unk> @-@ Athey and Moscow @-@ based Viktor Kudriavtsev . Kudriavtsev would come to Chicago for part of the year to coach , and Lysacek spent his summers at Kudriavtsev 's summer training camps in Moscow , Russia and <unk> , Switzerland . When that arrangement proved untenable , Kudriavtsev recommended Lysacek to Carroll , who agreed to coach Lysacek on the condition that Lysacek would work more with Congemi than with himself , due to Carroll 's commitments to Timothy Goebel . Lysacek moved to El Segundo , California to work with Frank Carroll and Ken Congemi in June 2003 . Lysacek worked with both Congemi and Carroll through the 2006 @-@ 2007 season , after which he began working solely with Carroll . He has also trained with ballerina Galina <unk> .
