Lysacek, winner of the gold medal at the 2010 winter games in Vancouver, will attempt to become the first man to win back-to-back Olympic figure skating titles in more than half a century. America's Dick Button was the last man to accomplish the feat, winning in 1948 and 1952.

"Evan embodies the determination and passion required for continued success in men's figure skating and is an amazing example to our employees who work around the clock handling passengers and cargo throughout the world," says Lori Alf, owner and board member of National Air Cargo Group.

"We wish Evan all success in his Olympic endeavor," says Alf, who is also the owner of Palm Beach Ice Works, a training facility in South Florida for aspiring figure skaters and hockey players.
