Alysa Liu revealed whether she would consider competing on Dancing With the Stars after taking home two gold medals during the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Olympic Skater Alysa Liu Reveals Real Meaning Behind Her Striped Hairstyle
Alysa Liu won’t be adding a Mirrorball trophy to her mantle anytime soon.
The pro figure skater—who earned two gold medals at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Olympics—revealed a stint on Dancing With the Stars isn’t her highest priority following her historic triumph at the Winter Games.
“I don't know if I would do Dancing with the Stars,” she told Entertainment Tonight in an interview published March 16. “I love dancing and I think I'm good at dancing, but I don't know if I would do it.”
When asked whether she would reconsider if she received an offer from the ABC competition series, Alysa, 20, was reluctant—though she acknowledged her stance could change down the road.
“At least for now,” she continued, “that’s my answer.”
Since returning to the U.S., the athlete—who made history as the first American woman in 24 years to place first in an individual Olympic skating event—has been in high demand, but she recently issued a plea for privacy after a frightening travel incident.
“So I land at the airport & there's a crowd waiting at the exit with cameras & things for me to sign,” she wrote in a post on her Instagram Stories March 4. “All up in my personal space. Someone chased me to my car bruh.”
Alysa added, “Please do not do that to me.”

But the Olympian’s time in the spotlight has had lots of positives, too. In fact, after she debuted a new program set to Zara Larsson and Pink Pantheress’ song “Stateside,” Zara shared a heartwarming reaction to the routine on TikTok.
“Wow, I love that,” Alysa recently told E! News in response to the pop star’s video, saying the shoutout was “everything.”
“I am only able to do such great programs because their songs are so great,” she continued, “and I really connect with it.”
