Alysa Liu Reacts to Becoming the Youngest Ever U.S. Figure Skating Champion

[@gafferin]

I think her father is of Chinese descendent and white surrogate mother using a donated egg.

[@d33pNacho]

She said she focuses only on the next move, not on the whole routine. That gave me something to think about: to accomplish anything in life we just need to divide the problem into smaller ones and then just focus on the next one and not worry about anything else. Easier said than done, of course... that's what makes her so different.

[@woohooo7634]

Most skaters think that way. It's impossible to do a performance while thinking about the entire thing, and not the individual elements.

[@csy897]

More like a checklist. Done, next. Done, next. Accomplishment, forward-looking, and pace. All at the same time. And if you see a bomb, jump on it, let it blow over. Then the checklist starts again.

[@Kelvinyongyc]

Not to forget she put alot of effort for practice before she can come to the execute focusing her skill

[@missmegs37]

yes! there's ted talks about this too. it's about breaking up your goal into increments and focusing on accomplishing those items because if you improve/accomplish even just 1% each day in the long run that adds up...and it's the journey that no one sees that lead people to their success.

[@rbspider]

The New England Patriots play their season like this . They don't look ahead , they just look at the next game. I would guess most sports teams do this .

[@aidenc1451]

She's at the age where it's still rainbows and sunshines. That's the age girls are unbeatable in pretty much every sport

[@carleem3310]

She’s not shy or awkward at all. A complete star in the making. Will be interesting to see what happens when she goes up against the Russian trio of Alena Kostornaia, Alexandra Trusova, and Anna Shcherbakova. Unfortunately those girls will likely go up to seniors before Alysa even hits juniors.

[@noelle6235]

Carlee Maurier i believe all three of them are eligible for seniors next year and i know alysa will be eligible for juniors next year. if alysa improves her technique, then she will be much more long lasting than those three (just look at the deterioration of alina zagitova this season). i hope she doesn’t start trying to jump quads yet and follows in more of the path of rika kihira.

[@carleem3310]

@@noelle6235 Okay yes I was unclear before, what I meant is they will go to seniors AS Alysa starts as a junior, I was merely trying to emphasize that they will be in seniors before she has a chance to go against them. As for the Eteri junior trio, I think Anna and Trusova will certainly falter in the same way as Alina currently is, but I haven't made up my mind about Alena yet. She has more artistry than any Eteri girl, Alina included. In fact, I would say she is second in Russia only to Evgenia in terms of performance. That, paired with the fact that she is the lone girl in that trio to not be doing any over the top jumps, makes me think that she might be the one Eteri girl to have some longevity. That is, if Eteri doesn't pressure her to take on more than she can handle. Although, it IS Eteri so that probably won't happen. I don't know. But I do want to believe that Alena Kostornaia could actually make a career for herself.

[@ifeelpretty5790]

tglc wcss I can't wait to see Alysa and Rika compete against each other, it'll be a triple axel face-off!

[@Gskuratov]

The competition will be against Kamila Valieva the new Eteri's"monster". She will replace Sasha, Anna and Alyona.[ Maya Jkromikj and Daria Usacheva complete the replacement trio].
