Alysa Liu (born August 8, 2005) is an American figure skater. She is the 2026 Winter Olympic champion in both women's singles and in the team event, the 2025 World champion, the 2022 World bronze medalist, the 2025–26 Grand Prix Final champion, a two-time Grand Prix medalist, a four-time Challenger Series champion, and a two-time U.S. national champion. Alysa Liu was born on August 8, 2005, in Clovis, California, and raised in Richmond, a city in the San Francisco Bay Area. Liu began skating at the age of 5, and by the age of 7, she was already competing at national levels. Her father, Arthur Liu, is a Chinese dissident who went into exile in the U.S. through Operation Yellowbird in 1989 due to the crackdown on participants in the Tiananmen Square Protests; he was a graduate student in Guangzhou, China. At age 25, Arthur arrived in Oakland, California, and initially worked as a busboy at a Chinese restaurant in Berkeley. After earning an M.B.A. from California State University, East Bay, and a law degree from the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco, he became an attorney. Early Career Liu began skating at age five when her father, a fan of Michelle Kwan, brought her to the Oakland Ice Center in Oakland, California. She began taking group lessons with her first and childhood coach, Laura Lipetsky, a former figure skater who had trained under Frank Carroll, and quickly moved to individual sessions. Lipetsky began teaching Liu at the age of 5½ years old.- Du Juan
