    Gracie Gold's memoir published February 2024

    Alysa Liu retired in 2022 and is coming back in 2024

    Alyssa has spent the past two years training and competing under pandemic restrictions. Then there came evidence that the Chinese government is still tracking her father and possibly approached her at the Olympics.
