Alysa Liu to skate at Honda Center in May

March 11, 2026

Olympic and World figure skating champion Alysa Liu will headline a Stars On Ice performance that includes seven Olympic gold medalists at the Honda Center May 16, the tour confirmed Tuesday.

Liu, 20, in capturing the gold medal at the Milano Cortina Games last month became the first American woman to win the Olympic gold medal in nearly a quarter-century. Liu’s historic victory capped one of the most successful Olympic Games for U.S. skaters in history. In addition to Liu’s victory, the U.S. successfully defended its gold medal in the team competition and Madison Chock and Evan Bates claimed the silver medal in the ice dancing competition.

The Stars On Ice confirmation comes two days after Liu announced that she was withdrawing from the World Figure Skating Championships later this month in Prague (March 24-29). Liu won the 2025 World title last March, less than a year after returning to the sport after retiring days after the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing. She was the first American woman to win Worlds since 2006. Her gold medal at the Milano Cortina Games was the first Olympic medal of any kind captured by a female U.S. skater since Orange County’s Sasha Cohen took the silver medal at the 2006 Games.

Liu has been on a whirlwind tour of late-night talk and morning shows since the Olympics. This week she was a special guest at the Louis Vuitton show during Paris Fashion Week.

“Hellooo as some of yall already know, I withdrew from Worlds,” Liu posted on social media Sunday. “There’s been a lot of exciting things happening since my return from Milan, so I’m taking some time for that. I will be cheering everyone on from afar. See yall next season!!”

Liu and Chock and Bates, the three-time reigning World champions, will be joined at the Stars On Ice event by World champion Ilia Malinin, three-time U.S. champion Amber Glenn, the pairs team of Ellie Kam and Danny O’Shea, members of the Olympic team competition victory, and Olympians Andrew Torgashev and Isabeau Levito, a Worlds silver medalist.
