Alysa Liu Wins Historic Gold at 2025 World Figure Skating Championships

The 19-year-old American's comeback triumph ends a 19-year U.S. drought in women's figure skating, with Japan securing two podium finishes in Boston.

Alysa Liu, just 19 years old, claimed gold at the 2025 World Figure Skating Championships in Boston during her comeback season.
This marks the first U.S. gold in women's figure skating at the World Championships since 2006, breaking a nearly two-decade drought.
Liu led the competition after the short program and delivered a strong free skate to secure the top spot with 222.97 points.
Japan's Kaori Sakamoto, the defending champion, finished second with 217.98 points, followed by compatriot Mone Chiba in third with 215.24 points.
For the first time since 2003, no German skaters participated in the championships due to failure to meet ISU qualification standards.
