Olympic Gold: Liu's Unique Journey

Alysa Liu, a 20-year-old figure skater from Clovis, California, has achieved Olympic team gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics. She previously made history at 13 by becoming the youngest national champion and the first U.S. woman to land three triple axels. Liu also holds the distinction of being the first American woman to land a quadruple jump in competition.

Liu's distinctive personal style, including her halo hair and smiley piercing, has garnered attention and praise for its uniqueness. She embraces this individuality, which fans appreciate as a departure from traditional figure skating aesthetics. Her performances have also showcased her artistic choices, such as skating to Laufey's song "Promise."

Beyond her athletic achievements and personal style, Liu is an advocate for immigrant rights, speaking out about the need for reform. She has attended protests and expressed her belief that immigrants deserve rights, particularly in America. Her personal best score of 76.59 in the women's single skating short program further highlights her impressive return to the sport.
