Alysa Liu became one of the biggest breakout stars of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina after winning gold in both the women’s singles and team figure skating events.
The 20-year-old ended a 24-year Olympic gold drought for American women in the sport with her personal-best score of 226.79 and gained millions of followers within days.
While several praised her performances, a few zeroed in on her “smiley” piercing look, and now, a dental health expert has urged fans to think carefully before copying the trend.
