Alysa Liu left figure skating behind. She came back better than ever
Briefly

Alysa Liu made history at the world figure skating championships by becoming the first American woman to win the title in 19 years, scoring personal bests in both segments of the competition. Her remarkable achievement comes just months before the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics, positioning her as a leading medal contender. With her victory, Liu shifts the narrative around U.S. women's figure skating, turning pressure into an opportunity and redefining expectations for her future in the sport after a prolonged absence.
My siblings, she said, laughing. They have no idea that this is happening. No one really did.
Not only is Liu back nearly three years after abruptly disappearing from the sport. She's better than ever.
The drought is no longer a millstone. It's an opportunity for Liu to make her mark.
