This week, two-time Olympic champion Alysa Liu discussed her decision to sit out the figure-skating season in a British Vogue photoshoot, saying she wants creative control and to work on her own terms. She has not set a return date.
Liu announced earlier this summer that she would not compete this season, saying she wanted new challenges so her artistry and skating could evolve. She said the break would give her time to recalibrate and fine-tune things, while she roots for her teammates.
