Alysa Liu’s Intense Olympic Prep Captured in New Exclusive Footage — But Fans Wonder If Fair Judging Will Follow Her Rise

Alysa Liu’s journey toward the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics has become one of the storylines fans around the world are watching most closely, and a newly released training video gives a rare behind-the-scenes look at the young champion in action. In the footage, Liu’s blistering speed, precision jumps, and commanding presence on the ice are unmistakable — so much so that many fans online are already calling her the clear favorite for Olympic gold. One viewer wrote, “She is so clearly the favourite it’s a bit sad… I hope they judge fairly.”

From the moment the camera rolls, Liu’s focus is evident. Coaches guide her through clean jump repetitions, intense edge work sessions, and choreography runs that blend athletic power with expressive performance quality. The energy is electric — not because it’s a competition broadcast, but because viewers watching training clips can feel the determination and commitment Liu brings to every element of her craft. For many skating fans, seeing her train this hard only reinforces why she’s widely expected to be a frontrunner at the Games.

Yet alongside the admiration comes a deeper conversation among the community. Some fans aren’t just wondering whether Liu will be judged fairly; they’re worried mainstream coverage will focus overwhelmingly on her, potentially overshadowing other contenders from countries like Japan, Russia (if competing), and Canada. Comments like “Wondering if they are even going to show footage of other girls except for the USA favourites” reflect a persistent fan concern about media attention skewing perceptions before the Olympic competition even begins.

As anticipation builds toward the season’s biggest event, Liu’s training glimpse has done more than hype one athlete — it’s reignited discussions about fairness, media spotlight, and what it truly takes to be judged not just on reputation, but performance once the pressure turns to Olympic medals.
