Alysa Liu is an American figure skater and Olympian who made history as one of her generation's youngest and most accomplished skaters. Born in Clovis, California, she began skating at age five and, at age 12, became the youngest woman ever to land a triple Axel. A year later, she won the 2019 U.S. National Championship, becoming the youngest skater to do so at 13 years old.
Liu competed at the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, finishing sixth in the women’s singles event, the highest among the U.S. competitors. A month later, she won a bronze medal at the 2022 ISU World Figure Skating Championships, becoming the first U.S. woman to reach the world podium since 2016. She finished the 2022 season and then retired from competitive skating at age 16.
During a skiing trip, a friend inspired Liu to return to figure skating. She decided to make her return, carefully selecting her own costumes, music, and program aesthetic. After finishing second at the U.S. Championships in her first season back on the ice, Liu became the first U.S. figure skater to win the women's singles world title in 19 years at the 2025 World Championships held in Boston.
Outside of the rink, she's interested in photography. During her two-year hiatus from skating, Liu climbed to the top of Mount Everest base camp (17,000+ ft above sea level) with friends.
