Alysa Liu Wins Gold

 







On Thursday in Milan, Alysa Liu won gold in the women’s singles event, making her the first U.S. woman to stand on the Olympic podium in the event since 2006. The last American woman to earn a medal in the singles event was Sasha Cohen, who took silver. In 2002, Sarah Hughes took home the gold medal, being the last American woman to do so, four years before Liu was even born. Michelle Kwan also won a bronze medal at those Olympics. For Liu, this is her second gold medal.

Karoi Sakamoto of Japan took silver, and Ami Nakai, also of Japan, took the bronze.









Liu moved effortlessly through her choreographic steps and brought the routine to a powerful finish.


Liu's score was 150.20, for a total score of 226.79.



Following the short program on Tuesday, Alysa Liu had started the free skate in third place, behind Nakai and Sakamoto. Isabeau Levito was in eighth place, while Amber Glenn was in 13th place after a mistake in her short program.
