U.S. Olympic figure skating star Alysa Liu has withdrawn from the upcoming World Figure Skating Championships just days after a disturbing airport incident that quickly made headlines.
After making history at the 2026 Winter Olympics last month, the 20-year-old became the subject of intense attention not only online but also in public. Last week, Liu described a frightening fan encounter at an airport following her return to the U.S.
The timing of her unexpected withdrawal has left fans worried and raised questions about whether the unsettling ordeal played a role in her sudden decision.
