Olympic Gold Medalist Alysa Liu Is Coming to Climate Pledge Arena This May and Seattle Needs to See This
Mark your calendars, Seattle. Olympic champion Alysa Liu is bringing Stars on Ice to Climate Pledge Arena on May 23, and honestly, this is the kind of event the Emerald City doesn’t get every day. Liu will be performing alongside fellow Olympic medalists Ilia Malinin, Madison Chock, and Evan Bates, and tickets are already on sale.
From Prodigy to Champion: Alysa Liu’s Incredible Story
At just 20 years old, Liu made history at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy. She became the first American woman to win an individual medal since 2006 and the first American gold medalist in figure skating since 2002. That’s not just impressive, that’s generational stuff.
But here’s what makes Liu special beyond the medals. She walked away from skating as a 16-year-old prodigy, then came back on her own terms. That kind of decision takes guts. Her barrier-breaking approach to styling and routine choices has sparked real conversations about self-care among professional athletes, and frankly, that matters.
Why Liu’s Message Resonates
After taking home gold in Milan, Liu was clear about what she wants to do with her platform. “I hope with all this attention I can raise awareness about mental health in sports, and mental health more generally,” she said. “I think my story is very cool. Hopefully, I can inspire some people.”
Tickets start at just $29, making this accessible for families across the Seattle area. If you want the full experience, Stars on Ice is also selling meet and greet packages before and after the show…
