Alysa Liu’s latest move when mentioning her love life with a message of just 5 words immediately became the focus of the sports media.
Olympic figure skating champion Alysa Liu has opened up about her decision to stay single, revealing she has no interest in pursuing romance following her triumphant performance at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Games.
The 20-year-old American, who captured two gold medals at this year’s Olympics, told Cosmopolitan that friendships take priority over dating in her life.
“Oh my god, this is, like, the first time I’ve talked about this,” she told Cosmopolitan.
“That’s a whole other thing that I’m not feeling right now.
“I have so much love in my life already, and I have so many amazing people, I just haven’t felt the need to look for more or look elsewhere.”
Liu expressed confidence in her approach to relationships, noting her self-assurance plays a role in her choices.
“I really love myself. And my standards are quite high, too,” she continued.
The double Olympic champion acknowledged that her demanding schedule leaves little room for romantic pursuits.

It’s just not worth it at this point to build something,” she explained.
Liu appears entirely at ease with her relationship status, suggesting it may remain unchanged for the foreseeable future.
“I think when it comes, it will. I love being single, I really do. I do see myself being single for a long time.
“Especially right now, I choose friendships over relationships any day.”
