Alysa Liu - Meet the Athletes (Interview) | Toyota Times

My athletic superpower is probably my ability to stay calm or make a stressful situation fun in competition. It's usually very stressful for everyone, but I found ways to make it relaxing and a fun experience. In figure skating, you have to look for the combination of your artistic side and technical side, so we skate and basically dance on the ice and then we also do technical jumps, so we jump in the air and spin. Those definitely have a really cool look. You gotta keep an eye out for them if fans and teammates have banners of me, honestly, anything.

If they want to do it, they would encourage me, their support simply makes me better. The biggest challenge I've probably had to overcome is wanting to quit my sport and the reason I wanted to quit was because I didn't think I could continue. I didn't think I was good enough, but my friends and family encouraged me to keep going and were very positive and told me I was really good and kept me going.
