The figure skating competition at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games comes to a glorious conclusion with the women’s event! USA’s golden girl, Alysa Liu, comes through in the clutch with a flawless free skate and climbs to the top of the podium. Queen Kaori Sakamoto holds onto Silver with two incredible skates, and claims her home in our hearts forever.
