Alysa Liu, daughter of a Chinese immigrant, born and raised in the SF Bay Area, is the first multiracial American gold medalist in Olympic ladies figure skating history.

She is the present and future of a country where 1 out of 10 Americans is now multiracial––the fastest-growing demographic in the U.S.

Kaori Sakamoto 🇯🇵 77.23

On her impression after skating

"Today, I was nervous like usual, but I had so much fun while skating. I was probably smiling a lot, wondering why it was so much fun. I'm very satisfied."

On whether it was fun from the start:

"No, it wasn't fun at the start. Maybe right before the Axel. After the flying camel, I suddenly entered this strange, relaxed mode I'd never experienced before. From then on, I just wanted to enjoy the moment."

On watching RikuRyu:

"Honestly, that was incredibly huge for me. Watching RikuRyu's comeback gold medal. In the team event, I couldn't watch either the short or the free, so I told myself I'd absolutely watch both in the individual event, and I did, and I was really moved. After the short program, Ryuichi kept saying he'd do his best and pass a good baton to me. Of course, receiving a good baton makes me happy, but I told them I’d be even happier if they skated a performance they were truly satisfied with. So I said, just go all out and leave everything on the ice. And then they delivered a golden baton, and I was like, 'Wow. I thought, 'there's no way I can drop this.' I received such a wonderful baton, so I felt like I could only succeed from here. All the anxiety I had until yesterday cleared away at once, and only good tension remained. It really felt like an amazing, almost too good baton had been handed to me."

On Ami:

"It's easier to be the one chasing, so I'm grateful to Ami for letting me stay in the chasing position until the very end. I think the generational change is already secure. Japan is in a good place. Heading into the free skate, I don't feel like I have anything to protect. So until the very end, I want to give my all and show my full power. If I can do that, I think I'll be able to deliver a good performance. I don't want to skate defensively. I want to skate with an attacking attitude."

[CLOSED. @midorimoonlight]

just want to say that this is ryuichi’s 4th olympics, and he has been carrying and pushing japan’s pairs skating ever since. from chosen because a world medalist needed a japanese partner to compete at the games to olympic champions. he had waited long enough for this gold.

@eldest_daughtah Congratulations ❤️❤️

🥈 Yuma Kagiyama 🇯🇵 176.99/ 280.06

"The fact that I was able to challenge myself, and that I was able to take on that challenge here on this stage, is a very big achievement and carries very big meaning for me. Although today was very frustrating, if I look at it from the bigger picture, on this Olympic stage there were a lot of experiences and important lessons. So overall, I think I can say I did my best."

On being on the podium with Sato Shun:

"I was very happy. At first, he didn't even realize he'd won a medal. Even when I said 'You won a medal', he reacted like, 'Huh?'. But I think it's a medal Shun earned with his own strength, so I'm genuinely happy for him. From now on, we'll continue to compete in the same events together. There's also the World Championship coming up. I want to win against him. I kept losing in the free skate, so I want to gain more strength and do my best."

On almost winning gold:

"I was focused on what kind of performance I wanted to give, so I'm very frustrated that I wasn't able to fully achieve that goal. But today, Shaidorov really delivered a wonderful performance and earned the gold medal, so I sincerely want to congratulate them from the bottom of my heart."

On Malinin:

"I thought his performance today was unusual, and there were parts that felt surprising. But he skated the team event short and free programs, as well as the individual short and free programs. In such a tight schedule like that, I think he did really well, he overcame it all and came this far. Since moving up to seniors, he has achieved so many accomplishments and produced many strong results. At this Olympics, he was almost expected by the whole world to win. It must have been an immeasurable amount of pressure and nervousness that must have brought, I can't even imagine it. I think he himself must be feeling very frustrated. But at his first Olympics, I think delivering 4 performances is amazing. My father told me that since I skated all the way through with everything I had and earned a medal, it’s okay to simply be happy about it. But I wonder if it's really okay to be happy. But there are still competitions remaining in the season, so I think I've found a clear new goal to work towards."

"To be honest, I wanted to give a better performance. And I really wanted to complete Turandot here in Milan. But the audience's huge support and cheers gave me a lot of strength today."

On his mistakes:

"When the mistakes happened in the first half, in a normal competition my mood probably would've really dropped. But today, on this Olmypic stage, I was skating with a strong determination to absolutely skate through to the end without giving up. So I was able to somehow push through the second half. My father also told me that even if I had fallen on everything, as long as I gave it my all to the end, that would be enough. So although I'm frustrated, I think I managed to endure well and gave it my all. "

never ever put a figure skating event on friday the 13th again @Olympics

[Jackie Wong @rockerskating]

Like everyone is focusing on Ilia Malinin only. We have forgotten that MIKHAIL SHAIDOROV WON THE OLYMPICS. You tell me that’s a prediction you had

[Jackie Wong @rockerskating]

Timeline:
+ Misha Shaidorov can’t believe he skated that way
+ Misha can’t believe he won a medal
+ Misha can’t believe he is going to get silver
+ MISHA SHAIDOROV OLYMPIC CHAMPION ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY KIDDING ME???
