Alysa Liu leads U.S. Figure Skating Championships in return

Alysa Liu, a two-time U.S. champion, has made a strong return to competitive figure skating at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Columbus, Ohio. After taking a break from the sport, Liu leads the women's competition following the short program with a score of 73.63, showcasing her technical prowess with a triple axel and a combination of triple lutz-triple toe loop. Her performance was highlighted by her ability to execute high-difficulty jumps, which set her apart from her competitors. Liu's return is marked by her focus on enjoying the sport rather than solely aiming for Olympic glory, reflecting a more balanced approach to her career. Meanwhile, other notable skaters like Isabeau Levito and Amber Glenn also performed well, but Liu's lead positions her as a favorite heading into the free skate.
