Speaking of what skaters will do with their lives after skating, I have to wonder what they do during their spare time. Brian Boitano turned his cooking skills into a TV Show. I wonder if Patrick Chan will buy and run a Vineyard. Here's a commercial for Brian's Cooking Show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cdcNORgbXE
Skaters do various things in their spare time and it depends on the skater individually what they are interested in
FWIW-Patrick has a line of Ice Wine so he's already got that going for him.
Evan Lysacek was always interested in fashion and is working as a Senior Consultant for Vera Wang out of NYC.
The list goes on....
