Summary
Alysa Liu, a 20-year-old figure skater, won the first individual gold medal for the United States in over two decades without the influence of her father, Arthur Liu. Arthur Liu was a controlling figure in Alysa’s life and career, introducing her to figure skating at five and handling all aspects of her training and sponsorships. However, their relationship became contentious, and Alysa eventually fired her father as her manager and took a hiatus from the sport. Alysa has since returned to figure skating and won a gold medal, but does not think her father deserves to be happy about her success.
