"Liu had been fine-tuning a program set to the song "This Is How It Feels," performed by Icelandic singer Laufey and American artist d4vd. But that was before the body of a missing teenage girl was found earlier this month in an impounded Tesla that was reportedly registered to d4vd (pronounced "David"), who first rose to fame with a viral TikTok in 2022."
"The Los Angeles Police Department has not implicated d4vd in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, though authorities have confirmed that his home has been searched. "I have to change it, you know? Forced to change my hand, basically. But that's alright," Liu told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview Wednesday. "I almost was grieving the process - 'Oh, I have my programs. They were going to grow and evolve, and I was going to add more to it.' But there's nothing like a fresh start.""
Alysa Liu is scrapping her short program that had been set to "This Is How It Feels," performed by Laufey and d4vd, and will redesign her routine. A missing teenage girls body was found in an impounded Tesla reportedly registered to d4vd, and Los Angeles police have searched his home though they have not implicated him. Liu said she was forced to change her program and described mixed feelings before calling the decision a fresh start. Liu, 20, is a two-time U.S. champion, returned from a brief retirement to finish second at nationals, and is favored for the three-woman Olympic contingent in Italy.
