Liu Celebrated Gold Medals in Milan
The speculation surrounding Liu’s personal life comes shortly after a major milestone in her athletic career.
Liu became the first American woman to win the Olympic gold medal in the women’s singles figure skating event at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan on February 19. She also earned a gold medal with Team USA in the team event.
During the celebrations following her victory, Liu revealed that a small mishap occurred with one of her medals.
“I was just jumping up and down, as one does to celebrate and it just dropped,” Liu explained, via NBC. “It just literally fell off of the ribbon. It got very scratched up pretty dented.”
She said she returned the medal and received a replacement.
“I actually liked it when it was off the ribbon, but that’s not allowed,” Liu said. “I had to give it in. I was like: ‘Can’t you just fix this one? I’m attached.’”
“But it’s ok, I’m detached. Just like it was.”
