The Liu Family Unveiled: Discover Alysa's Closest Kin

Alysa Liu, a two-time Olympian, recently won a gold medal in the women's individual free skate at the 2026 Milano Cortina Games. She hails from Oakland, California, and her family has been a significant support system throughout her career.

Despite assumptions that Alysa had been constantly competing, she actually took a break from competitive skating during her teenage years. Alysa credits her family for her brief retirement, expressing her love for being with them and the opportunity to live a more balanced life.

Alysa's father, Arthur Liu, has been a pillar of support since she started figure skating at 5 years old. Born in China, Arthur fled the country after the Tiananmen Square protests and settled in California. He is a lawyer and a father to five children through surrogacy.

Arthur and Alysa were reportedly targeted in a spy operation believed to be linked to the Chinese government. Despite concerns for Alysa's safety, Arthur remains determined not to let the situation deter him from living his life as he chooses.

Alysa's mother was an anonymous egg donor, and after her parents' divorce, Alysa and her siblings were raised by Arthur and his mother. Alysa has four siblings, including a sister and triplets, and they share a close bond growing up in Northern California.

In an interview, Alysa expressed her deep affection for her siblings, describing their relationship as full of love and fun. They enjoy spending time together, playfully teasing each other, and creating a supportive and open environment for each other.
