Alysa Liu Wins Gold at 2025 World Figure Skating Championships in Boston

The 19-year-old American's comeback secures the first U.S. women's gold since 2006, while Japan takes silver and bronze.

Alysa Liu, 19, claimed gold at the 2025 World Figure Skating Championships, marking a triumphant return after retiring in 2022.
Liu led after the short program and delivered a strong free skate to secure the win with a total score of 222.97 points.
This victory ends a nearly 20-year drought for the United States in women's figure skating at the World Championships.
Defending champion Kaori Sakamoto of Japan took silver with 217.98 points, halting her streak of three consecutive titles, while compatriot Mone Chiba earned bronze with 215.24 points.
Germany was absent from the competition for the first time since 2003 due to no skaters meeting ISU qualification standards.
