Less than two years after coming out of retirement, Alysa Liu captured America’s first medal in women’s figure skating in 20 years.

American Alysa Liu won gold in women's figure skating, becoming the first American woman to do so since 2002. American speedskater Jordan Stolz took silver in the 1,500-meter final. He'd previously won two gold medals at these Games, and he'll have another shot to medal Saturday.

MILAN (AP) — Alysa Liu had just delivered a near-flawless Olympic free skate on Thursday night, one that left a packed crowd inside the Milano Ice Skating Arena standing and roaring, when a television camera zoomed in on the American star as she was heading off the ice.

Alysa Liu brought down the house with her free skating, her electric performance rocketing her to winning gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Three figure skaters from Team USA competed in the women's individual free skate event at the Milan Cortina Winter Games.

Levito scored a 131.96 in the women's free skate on Feb. 19. This value, paired with the 70.84 earned from the women's short program Feb. 17, brought Levito to a total score of 202.8. The New Jersey skater ultimately finished in twelfth place overall.
