Olympics Spoiler Alert!

[Brenda]

With so much hatred, cruelty, chaos, law-breaking and death happening since Chump slimed back into our government I've been watching and enjoying a lot of the Winter Olympics as a respite.

Just watched the most beautiful, deserved Gold Medal performance for Women's Single Skating, evah.

Alysa Liu was born on August 8, 2005, in Clovis, California, the oldest child of Arthur Liu and Yan Qingxin (Mary). Her father, Arthur Liu, went into exile at age 25 in the 1990s from Guangzhou, China, to the United States due to the persecution of participants in the 1989 Democracy Movement.

She is an absolute free spirt and joyful person and skater with wild hair coloring to go along with it.

She was genuine, artistic, cool and technically flawless and I'm so glad they gave her the gold!

1. WOW, she beat all of the phenomenal Japanese women skaters? She must have been absolutely flawless!

[Brenda]

3. It was incredibly close by the numbers

I think Alysa's artistry and joy in her free skate put her over Sakamoto (who is only 17 I think) and Nakai (who is retiring).

Amazing performances by all!

6. Cool, can't wait to watch in tonight! I was watching the USA women take the gold in hockey.

[Brenda]

9. Yeah, I heard that, lotta gold for women!

4. Thanks for that profile

Her short skate was beautiful too.

5. It was beautiful! Perfect! And Amber Glenn did well also going from 13th to 5th place.

[beaglelover]

7. WOW! That's awesome. She was so upset after the short program. I'm glad her free skate went well.

[Brenda]

10. Nope. You are talking about Amber Glenn.

She was the favored US skater and yeah, she really did break down after the short skate.

Alysa has been nothing but smiles and chill throughout the entire Olympics!

[beaglelover]

11. Right, that's the post I'm replying to talking about how she went from 13 to 5th place.

[Brenda]

12. Sorry, I misread who you were responding to

The clip is a profile about Alysa Liu. Her team mate Amber Glenn, from Plano Texas I think, was the favorite. She did not do well in her short skate and really broke down emotionally.

Amber ended up 13th after short skate. She skated excellent in free skate but ended up in 5th place.

Gold - Liu
Silver - Sakamoto
Bronze - Nakai
Amber finished 5th place

17. It really was thrilling to watch!

Boy, the maneuvers they do, nowadays! Really astounding!

18. Wow! Fantastic!❤️👏

Than you!
I immediately turned on TV just in time to see that perfect energetic performance!

19. They were all beautiful

Alysa Liu had a remarkable comeback after giving up the sport a few years ago. Impeccable performance with a great attitude. Personally, I prefer grace over strength in women’s ice skating. I can’t remember the name or nationality of the skater in the ice blue outfit, but her performance was absolutely ethereal. Sadly, she made a mistake that knocked her off the podium.
