20 year old Alysa Liu made history in her return to competitive figure skating by winning the first Olympic women’s figure skating gold medal for the United States in 24 years on Thursday night‼️
She had recently vanished from the sport nearly four years ago uncertain if she’d ever return. Only to come back and deliver a career-best long program to overtake Japanese rivals Kaori Sakamoto and Ami Nakai.
Liu cleanly landed all seven of her triple jumps, including three in combination, and drew a standing ovation before finishing with 226.79 points overall.
“That’s what I’m f**king talking about,” Liu said as she left the ice.
Y’all rockin’ wit Alysa Liu⁉️
