U.S.Women [#9]: Now That's What I'm F*@&%!$ Talking About!

WIGS...

That's what Alysa said in her press conference ("probably wigs when I go outside"): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jq1ke3DepW8

Moving this post about Alysa & father over here from the U.S. Men's news thread :

I suspect that some of it is Arthur. Doing the right thing, but having to flee. Wanting a big family, but doing it in a less conventional way. No matter the flubs he made in trying to insure his kid had the best chance of succeeding in 2022, she also grew up knowing that being brave is a family thing.

Which reminds me... @Anita18 posted this article in Alysa's fan thread last week:

USA Today interview with Alysa’s father Arthur, reflecting on his decisions that might have led Alysa to initially quit skating. He sounds a bit like my high-expectations Asian parents (who my sister and I considered pretty lenient among our peers) - high standards, wanted our time and efforts to be used wisely, always expected us to do our best. But ultimately ok with letting go of the exact results and trust that we’d figure it out. He’s reflective and supportive and that’s what counts at the end of the day.
