Alysa Liu has won gold in women’s figure skating. She became the first American woman to claim the Olympic title in the event since 2002. The 20-year-old from the San Francisco Bay Area scored a career-high 226.79 points to finish ahead of Japan’s Kaori Sakamoto and Ami Nakai.

Liu briefly retired after the 2022 Beijing Games, citing burnout. Liu called her return to the Olympic stage a personal victory, saying she wanted simply to be present and compete.
