Alysa Liu, the newly crowned world champion of figure skating, has made history as the first U.S. woman to win a world title since 2006. The 19-year-old skater, who practices at the Oakland Ice Center, recently returned after a successful media tour following her victory at the ISU World Figure Skating Championships. Currently on the Stars On Ice tour, Liu balances her competitions with artistic skating, often using contemporary music that resonates with her emotions. As she prepares for the upcoming Winter Olympics, she is taking her training at a pace that allows enjoyment and creativity in her sport.
"The music I skate to is based on how I'm feeling. This sport is very artistic, and you move better when you have music."
"I'm easing back into skating one day at a time, competing is on my mind, but I'm enjoying the journey right now."
