Even before she hit the ice in Beijing for her first Winter Olympics, Alysa Liu was being hailed as “the Simone Biles of figure skating.”

No pressure there.

Indeed, there are high expectations on the 16-year-old native of Northern California, who came into these games with plenty of hardware in U.S. and international competitions but had yet to prove herself on the biggest stage of all.

However, the credentials for an athlete her age are impressive:

Two gold medals in ladies’ singles in the U.S. Championships (2019-20), a bronze in the U.S. juniors (2020) and a silver in the Junior Grand Prix Final (2019-20). She’s also a two-time Junior Grand Prix champion (2019-20) and a U.S. junior national champion (2018).

Additionally, she’s the youngest woman at 13 to win a U.S. championship; at 14, the youngest woman to win back-to-back

U.S. titles and at 14 the youngest U.S. skater to land three triple axels in an international competition.

And then there is the comparison to Simone Biles, the greatest gymnast in Olympic history, which came courtesy of Adam Rippon, the U.S. figure skater who won bronze in 2018 at PyeongChang.

Fortunately, Liu seems to be coping with any pressure well. Unlike Biles, who dropped out of events at the Tokyo Olympics this past summer to protect her mental health, Liu is hanging in there with the help of a mental coach. A critical assist for a woman so young.

Liu goes for gold in women’s singles when she performs in the free skate on Thursday, Feb. 17. All events in the 2022 Winter Olympics air on NBC, Peacock, USA Network, CNBC, NBCOlympics.com and NBC Sports app. 11:00 pm ESPN Women’s Soccer She Believes Cup 2022 — United States vs Czech Republic.
