Alysa Liu recently shared her thoughts on competing at the next Winter Olympics in 2030. It will be held in the French Alps, France, from February 1 to 17, 2030.
Liu recently stood under the spotlight at the 2026 Winter Games after her performances in the figure skating events. From the team events to individual performances, she turned heads with her clean execution of jumps and rotations. Opening her run in Milan, she competed at the team event, where she scored 74.90, securing a second-place finish, playing a decisive role in her team’s win.
This gold-medal performance was followed by another one after her notable delivery in the free skate finals, where she attained 226.79 points. Days after her outing in Milan, she sat for a conversation with NBC News, where she was asked about her intentions on competing in the next 2030 Winter Olympics in the French Alps.
Revealing her thoughts on competing in the next Winter Games, she said:
“Yeah, I mean, I like France, I think. So, yeah, I would like to.”
In addition to this, she also spoke about the huge graffiti art made by her fan to honor her Olympic gold medal and also revealed that she is being stopped by people on the road all the time after her Milan feat.
Alysa Liu’s Best Friend Reveals the Story Behind Her Comeback After Retiring at Age 16
Alysa Liu made her Olympic debut at the 2022 Winter Olympics, where she fell short of earning any podium finishes. After wrapping up her maiden Olympics appearance, she announced he retirement from figure skating at the early age of 16. After taking a long break, she returned to ice in October 2024 and then showcased her talent at the biggest stage in Milan.
Amid her comeback, her best friend revealed a story that helped her make a comeback from retirement. Opening up about their skiing trip that motivated the skater, she said:
“I remember it was like our first time skiing, and we were driving, and she was like, ‘I’m gonna do Black Diamond today.’ And like some people said that as a joke, she was dead serious. I was like, we need to take it slow. We’re not going on a black diamond, we’re double black diamond. Anywhere in this morning, but at the same time, it’s like I knew that she would pick it up, and she did. By the end of the day, she probably could have done that diamond. I mean, she’s just so athletically gifted in a lot of ways, doing a sport like that again, that’s so fun,” said Alysa Liu’s friend.
She added:
“I wasn’t surprised that it reminded her of what she found in skating that she liked. On the ride home from that trip, she just kind of talked it through with us. And she still wasn’t sure at the start, and then she was like, I’ll just try. Going to the rink with you in the morning, and if I can land all my jobs, I’ll come back, and I was like, OK, let’s do it. Yeah, she kind of unsurprisingly was able to pick them all up within the morning.”
Alysa Liu will next be seen competing at the World Figure Skating Championships, which will take place in Prague from March 23 to 29, 2026.
