Alysa Liu's New Gaga Skate for 2026 Olympics

As the 2026 Winter Olympics approach, U.S. figure skating star Alysa Liu will debut a significantly reworked Lady Gaga free skate at the national championships. This revamped program, featuring a new platinum costume and a revised song selection including 'Chromatica' and 'Paparazzi,' is a key test for Liu.

Liu aims to impress at the U.S. championships in St. Louis, where her performance will directly influence her decision on which free skate to bring to the Milan-Cortina Games. She previously noted her original rework of the program was not yet perfect.

Currently in second place after a record-setting short program, Liu's free skate performance is critical. Her choice between this new program and her previous 'MacArthur Park Suite' skate will be a significant factor as she aims for her first U.S. title since 2020.
