找回对花滑的热爱 刘美贤的动人复出过程 Alysa Liu 体育纪录片

A lot of what I'm about to say is taboo, basically, but skating isn't everything for me. It's just something that I enjoy, but I don't take it as seriously as other people. My friends are super important to me, same with my siblings. No, Jocelyn, it's burning, it's burning. No, it's not. I stay up late sometimes. I'm not on a diet or anything. Some people might say I have too much of a life outside of skating, but everything I went through, it led me to this point. Her score for the free skate, 143.62. Now looking at the youngest ladies champion ever, 13-year-old Alyssa Lu. I was just really happy in the moment, to be honest, but I was also in disbelief. That was the biggest achievement for me at the time. Here is the 16-year-old, just now old enough to skate at the Olympics, two-time US champ, Alyssa Lu. Alyssa was always very talented, but I would say that whole period of time was defined as Alyssa doing what she was told to do, and she was very good at doing what she was told to do. That's changed. So I was at the Beijing Olympics at 16, and I also retired at 16. I didn't like skating anymore. I don't know, I just didn't have too much freedom. I was set on a schedule that someone created for me. Like my whole life was just skating, and I didn't get any satisfaction from the sport anymore. I knew that retirement was the only way for me to get out into the world and do more. First thing I did was go on my first vacation. I got to go to concerts for the first time. I also got my driver's license. I was doing everything I could to make up for lost time. I went on a ski trip in 2024. It was so much of an adrenaline rush. Like to get down the mountain when your legs are that tired, it's hard, and you have to kind of tap into the side of you that fights. And I hadn't felt that since I quit skating. Skiing made me feel like that fight again, and I was like, well, if I can get what I'm feeling from skating, I should just do that. She said, hey, I want to come back to skating. I opened a bottle of wine, and I drank a really big glass, and I tried to talk her out of it. But with every reason that I told her why she couldn't do it, she gave me a reason why she could do it. And literally 11 months later, she was world champion. One of the most remarkable in skating. She was barely skating last year at this time. Free skate score, 114. I was so shocked, actually. It feels like I just rediscovered figure skating. I've definitely evolved into my own person. I love to create now. I'm a lot stronger physically. I still love to skate, and my mind is very peaceful.
