Barbra Streisand’s reaction to Alysa Liu’s gold medal at the Milano Cortina 2026 Games has sparked mixed reactions on social media.
Liu, a 20-year-old American figure skater from Richmond, California, took the world by storm with her performances at the recently concluded Winter Olympics in Italy. She won gold medals in both women’s singles and the team event, becoming America’s first female figure skating Olympic gold medalist in 24 years.
Streisand, an actor, singer, director, and producer with a Hollywood career spanning more than six decades, heaped praise on Liu for her accomplishment in a social media post. However, the second half of her caption did not sit well with some of her followers.
