(DC Pundit) – Another American gold. Another reminder that grit, talent, and freedom still matter.
Alysa Liu delivered for Team USA on Thursday, capturing Olympic gold in women’s figure skating after years of excellence in the sport. The Oakland, California native skated a flawless free program, appearing calm, confident, and completely in control. There were no visible nerves, no hesitation, just precision and poise under the brightest lights imaginable.
With the victory, Liu became America’s first United States medalist in the event since Sasha Cohen and the first gold medalist since Sarah Hughes. She is now the eighth overall American woman to win Olympic gold in figure skating, joining legends such as Hughes, Tara Lipinski, Kristi Yamaguchi and others who defined prior eras of dominance.
I am in tears. Alysa Liu’s father was persecuted by the CCP and fled to America. She just won Gold for Team USA
FIRST TIME IN 2 DECADES ❤️

Alysa Liu beams with pure joy talking about winning on her own terms.
She walked away from US champion at 13 in tears, ignored her coach at 16 who called the comeback a “bad idea,” then stormed back to win Worlds and 2 Olympic golds.

What makes Liu’s achievement even more remarkable is the road she took to get there. After her first Olympic appearance in 2022, she stepped away from competition. Many assumed that chapter of her life had closed. But two years ago, she returned to the ice. That comeback turned out to be, quite literally, a golden decision.
URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!
The Chinese Communist Party reportedly was furious that Liu declined to skate for Team China. According to reports, the CCP sent operatives to monitor her and her father in the United States. The FBI uncovered the effort and informed Liu. She has since spoken publicly about attempts by China to intimidate her into not representing Team USA.

Liu’s performance was exceptional. Her resilience may be even more impressive.
Congratulations to America’s newest Olympic gold medalist in women’s figure skating. She didn’t just win a medal. She made a statement.
