USA TODAY
Alysa Liu's incredible life story has gained another chapter: her comeback to win Olympic gold in women's figure skating.
MILAN — Alysa Liu had a lot to celebrate Thursday, but what she really beamed about was the color of her dress, the one she wore during a stunning free skate that catapulted her to victory in the women’s figure skating singles event at the 2026 Olympics.
“My program is very fun and I feel really confident,’’ Liu said. “… And this is my favorite dress of all time, so that's kind of big.’’
Also, she noted of the dress, “it matches my hair.’’
Liu, the 20-year-old American, joined elite and elegant company on Thursday, Feb. 19, now among the ranks of U.S. women's figure skaters who have won Olympic golds — a list that includes legends like Dorothy Hamill, Peggy Fleming and Kristi Yamaguchi.
Liu contemplated her future not long after winning the Olympic gold medal.
