A heartwarming older video of Team USA's Alysa Liu is going viral after resurfacing following her historic Olympic gold victory.

Alysa Liu's alternative style has garnered much attention, from her halo-striped hair to her smiley frenulum piercing. In a recent video, the Olympian explains her look.

Alysa Liu probably cared the least of all the women in figure skating at the Milan Cortina Olympics about winning the gold medal. Maybe that is why she won it. The 20-year-old with the striped hair, prominent frenulum piercing and carefree attitude never showed any worry or strain when she took the ice for her free skate on Thursday

A top figure skater confirmed her retirement after falling short of Olympic gold, which was ultimately won by USA’s Alysa Liu.

Team USA figure skater Alysa Liu has been one of the breakout stars at the 2026 Winter Olympics. On Thursday, Liu won gold in the individual women’s competition, ending a 24-year drought for the United States.

Liu and Naumov will perform at The Skating Club of Boston’s annual benefit ice show, “Ice Chips,” on Feb. 28 and March 1.

Frostad swiped the gold medal back from Forehand by equalling that 98.25 on his final run, giving Norway its 14th gold of this year's Games. While Forehand couldn't nab gold, he walked away with an impressive silver medal in what commentators called the best Big Air competition they've ever seen with outrageous scoring from the entire field.

From three solid shonen titles, Liu moved to the beloved magical girl series Madoka Magica. The series, first released in 2011, follows two teenagers who are offered a contract by a magical creature to have any wish granted in exchange for fighting dangerous witches.
