Alysa Liu Just Challenged Every Skating Coach’s Biggest Rule!

Alysa Liu’s gold medal victory at the 2026 Milano Cortina Games represents a definitive shift in figure skating, prioritizing mental autonomy over the sport’s traditional "robotic" demands.

By winning individual gold, she ended a twenty-four-year drought for American women and proved that competitive longevity is possible through mental stability rather than rigid conformity.
