"The 13 year old Alisa Liu is not competing to lose"

An article about Alisa Liu in a Greek sport website. This website is mainly about football, basketball etc. It was a surprise to see an article about figure skating and I wanted to share it here.

Alysa was on California Live today, a local NBC program. Here's a link to the video - she was her same effervescent self...

wow Alysa - I can't even keep up with all her quads!

 

[Alaurynm]

Does anyone think she might try a quad in competition next year? Also, is she moving up to juniors for next season?

She will certainly be on the JGP next year. And maybe! She might be able to do well on the JGP without it, but considering she already attempted one this year, I think she'll probably attempt one at at least one comp next season!

Alysa visited TCC again to work on her Quads

I hope Twitter is a fun place for her. But isn't she too young for Twitter? Twitter can be a very rough place..

 

[Scott512]

Gosh, if she lands the 4Lz and 3A+2T and completes a third combo at senior nationals... watch out, Bradie!

Good God you're the Nostradamus of figure skating! Let me know when you're ready to predict the Beijing ladies competition in 2022.

I'm afraid yes, some people on social media can be very mean, but hopefully these people will stay away from her. So far she seems to be having fun... mostly tweeting about doing gaming streams

Yes she is having great fun and she should but when will the pressure start to kick in? I think she has a chance well let's take it one step at a time. I think Alysa has a chance to be a fantastic Junior next season and then go from there. But because she's an American Star she will get tons of media and exposure and I hope she can handle of all of the attention.

On a side note it's absolutely bizarre that she won senior Nationals at 13 but couldn't even skate on the junior circuit. Seeing Alysa Liu skate against 3A this past season would have made the juniors the most memorable Junior season ever. But it didn't happen. We will have to wait for that.

Will Alysa need her full arsenal of triple axles and quads for juniors? My guess is no. Since she's going to be in juniors for a couple seasons why should she do the maximum amount of triple axles and quads per program when she probably won't need the maximum to win?

I think Liu vs. Valieva is going to be interesting enough this season (plus some other that are bound to be factors). She doesn't necessarily need to be doing the maximum number of quads, but to win she's probably going to have to do at least the difficulty she's doing now or a little more. I hope the pressure of everyone having so many expectations for her doesn't get to her... imagine being deemed the savior of US ladies figure skating before you've even stepped on the JGP - that must be nerve-wracking, and its not like she'll have easy competition next year. I just hope she continues to skate for herself because she loves it and loves competing, and she doesn't start to feel like it is her duty.
