Alysa Liu cheer/fan thread

Alysa's quote from ISU's Grand Prix Final Women's recap (Dec. 6, 2025): https://isu-skating.com/figure-skat...-soars-to-gold-in-isu-grand-prix-final-debut/

She is preparing to reveal her new Lady Gaga Free Skating at the US Nationals in January.

“I already have it, it’s already done. Just haven’t shown it,” Liu revealed. “Now I’m keeping it a secret. I’m waiting for the dress and the competition to do it!

Alysa has shared 19 photos from the GPF in Nagoya: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSBGfdMErWB/

Thanks! Here's the article version: https://www.kcra.com/article/dying-to-ask-podcast-alysa-liu-burnout-comeback/69483799

Alysa started skating for fun, and it wasn't long before she got the itch to skate more seriously. She called a former coach, Phillip DiGuglielmo, and asked him what he thought about her coming out of retirement. At first, he wasn't a fan.
"I said, 'Please don't. I really did.' I said, 'Please don't. Respect your legacy,'" DiGuglielmo said. "We had a Zoom call for two hours. The story is I had a lot of glasses of wine over those two hours. And she talked me into a comeback."

Awesome!! Thank you for the heads up!

I think this will be Alysa's second time on the show since she won Nationals (either the first or second time)!

Ahhh! Thank you, thank you ! In my excitement I accidentally clicked on the wrong button on my nephew's remote and I missed most of Alysa's segment just trying to get back to the channel! I'm old (well the Autumn of my life), I'm still trying to get used to these app-style TVs!

Omigosh! Alysa showed a clip of her 3A!! Dare I dream that she can get it consistent enough by the Games?
Looked under-ish to me but there's a little bit of time to clean up, and hopefully her 3L-3R too!

I have a dream of seeing all three US girls on the podiums, Team, Singles or both!

And btw Alysa, baby girl looked ROCK STAR up there!

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Ok, I missed the entrance to the 3A on the Jimmy Fallon Show.

Alysa just posted the FULL version on her Insta - A gorgeous SPREAD EAGLE transition into her 3A!! SLAY QUEEN!!

Darian Kaptich: the double was to spectacular to not be doing this in secret

Was it really a secret? I thought she was pretty open about it. We just hadn't seen it yet.

Kaptich is an Australian Senior man (has not competed this season due to injury) and may not have been aware that Alysa has talked about the 3A this season.
