16 year old Alysa Liu's STUNNING Free Skate 🎶⛸

📲 Subscribe to @olympics: oly.ch/Subscribe
What a difficult song to skate to and what a strong performance by Liu in her Free Skate Routine at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. Liu ended up on a decent 7th place regarding the fact that she was just 16 by the time. Beijing 2022 were Liu's first and also last Winter Olympics as she proceeded to end her career the same year.

I am so glad she chose her long term health and mental health over this toxic sport. I'm happy she's getting the appreciation she deserves, but it's sad it's only after the means of those who she was constantly compared to was brought to light. She has achieved SO much at the tender age of 16, I hope she is proud of herself! I wish you all the best and thank you Alysa for the joy you brought to this sport like this beautiful free skate!

[@ChristineTheHippie]

Absolutely. If she's happy with her career, that's all that matters. It's sad she was put under so much pressure. All that pressure to beat the Russians, especially Valieva, no doubt which one is better off in the end.

[@maouimaisnon2535]

The Valieva case. Don't bring other russians into this please.

[@maouimaisnon2535]

@Looloo L you said it all, but don't expect those people to care for athletes they already decided were on the wrong side of russian boundary. They're too narrow minded (and racist, and body hating, and sexist) to consider that they're not the only ones in the world, and that they're not all-knowing.

[@wickedwitch7456]

@Looloo L they talk about how quad is Ruining their body (which it does, I'll agree) and how cruel it is for Russia to train their athletes to do difficult jumps and calling it child abuse, but the moment an American skater or an Asian female skater does a 3A or a quad, they sing in praises of their talent and how their "Technique" is better than the Russians only for them to lose it again earlier than the Russians, so they go back of the same thing and then restarts

[@elizabethisaverdian9707]

@Wicked Witch it all depends on body type - Tuktamisheva was jumping 3A at 16 and jumps now at 26 - and the perfect one - but no quads. On the other hands Trusova wants to jump all 5 quads and 3A against her coaches' will. And Valyeva has a very heavy body ( like Zagitova) - you can almost physically feel like they fight with their body's... And sorry, I didn't see anything special in the presentation above, except...for the dress.

[@ChristineTheHippie]

@Looloo L I agree. Alysa is clearly in great shape and athletic but certain parts act like having natural body fat=fat and lazy.

[@wickedwitch7456]

@Looloo L the US media put too much pressure on her too. She she could do the quad and 3A in her junior years, they swarm over her with the expectation of "finally, an American skater to combat the Russians". She still had to hit puberty and her training isn't as strict and tough as the Russians that she felt more and more pressure of not up to their expectations. How could she still enjoy competing in that state?

[@ChristineTheHippie]

I wonder how much that contributed to her decision. The pressure she was under was insane. Still, she was a joy to watch.

[@wickedwitch7456]

The US media was all about criticising the Russians for doing quads and 3As until Alysa started doing the same, and then suddenly quad and 3A was "women's figure skating moving forward" using her as an example. But that out way too much pressure on one child.

Не знаю, чем тут особенно восхищаться, но это средненькая фигуристка. И не первого десятка. До россиянок, как до Луны, что в плане постановки программы, что в плане исполнительского мастерства. Именно исполнительское мастерство и умение рассказать историю на льду с помощью такого инструмента, как спортивная техника, и является главной оценкой. Кто бы что против ни говорил. Лично я, не увидела в катании Алисы ничего из того, о чем написала раньше. Ну да, прыгает более-менее резвенько. Но далеко не все прыжки. Да и вообще, смотрится на льду несколько не гармонично(ляжки плотные, заметно наличие лишнего веса, отчего и прыгать, да и не только, тяжело. Так что, наверное, стоит задуматься над проблемой лишнего веса в фк. Тем более, что не так давно о идеальном весе судили по несколько иным параметрам, отнимая от роста число сто десять: например, рост 155-110=45,т.е. при этом росте оптимальный вес человека, для его же безопасности, особенно в спорте, должен быть равен цифре в 45 кг. Отсюда вывод о том, что русские девушки в этом случае выглядят предпочтительнее и имеют больше возможностей для работы с более сложными элементами. И более сложными программами. Поэтому стоило ли издеваться над россиянками и претендовать на более высокое место, если ты по фищиологическим параметрам не очень-то тянешь?!
