After becoming the youngest U.S. women’s figure skating champion in history at only 13, Alysa Liu abruptly retired, stunning the skating world. “I was 16 and college was coming up. Like, I wanted to do so much. I went to Nepal, and I trekked to Everest Base Camp. Me and my friends would do tons of road trips. Yeah. I mean, I was really just living it up. I would say it was my best life,” says Liu. For nearly two years, she says, she didn’t think about skating. #figureskater #alysaliu #retirement #sportscomeback #athletejourney
