Alexandra Trusova:
Alexandra Trusova, the "Russian Rocket," revolutionized figure skating by pushing the technical boundaries of what was thought possible for women. At the 2022 Beijing Olympics, she made history as the first woman to land five quadruple jumps in a single program. Despite this unprecedented feat, she was overcome with emotion after taking silver, famously crying that she "hated the sport" because her technical dominance didn't yield gold. Since then, Trusova’s journey has been one of personal evolution; she stepped away from elite competition, performed in high-profile ice shows, and married fellow skater Makar Ignatov in 2024. Now in 2026, she remains a legendary figure in the sport, balancing a potential return to the competitive arena with a new focus on artistic maturity and the legacy of the "Quad Queen" era.
Alysa Liu:
Alysa Liu’s story is one of the most remarkable "round two" successes in Olympic history. After becoming the youngest U.S. champion at 13 and competing in the 2022 Olympics, she stunned the world by retiring at just 16 due to burnout. However, her time away allowed her to rediscover a genuine love for the ice. Returning to the sport in 2024 on her own terms—choosing her own music, costumes, and coaches—she transformed into "Alysa 2.0." This journey culminated at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, where she delivered a flawless, joyful performance to win the gold medal. By ending a 24-year gold medal drought for American women, Liu proved that prioritizing mental health and personal autonomy can lead to the highest level of athletic triumph.
