It was as if Alysa Liu couldn’t believe it.
As her free skate ended and the crowd rose to their feet, the 20-year-old figure skater threw her hands on her head. She needed a big day on Sunday, Nov. 16 to win first place at 2025 Skate America, and she felt like she didn't perform as well as she could've.
"In my opinion, I did not skate that good," Liu said. "That's why I was just like 'ah, silly mistake.'"
Despite how she felt her program went, the day ended with the hardware around her neck matching the color of her dress: gold.
Liu delivered a powerful free skate to win Skate America for the first time in her career, and continue her stellar run as she heads toward returning to the Winter Olympics.
