In front of a sold-out TD Garden crowd, the 19-year-old delivered a spellbinding program to claim the world title, marking the first time an American woman has done so since Kimmie Meissner in 2006. As the championship unfolded on March 28, 2025, the night showcased not just Liu\u2019s improbable comeback but also the fierce competition among the world\u2019s top skaters vying for the podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Comeback for the Ages<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entering the free skate in first place after Wednesday\u2019s short program, Liu faced immense pressure to hold off Japan\u2019s Kaori Sakamoto, a three-time defending champion aiming to make history with a fourth consecutive title. Skating to Donna Summer\u2019s \u201cMacArthur Park Suite,\u201d Liu radiated confidence in a shimmering gold dress. She landed seven triple jumps\u2014three in combination\u2014with high-velocity step sequences and fluid transitions that brought the 17,850 fans to their feet. Her free skate score of 148.39, a season best by nearly 17 points, propelled her to a total of 222.97, securing gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t know how to process this,\u201d Liu said, still breathless in the kiss-and-cry area alongside coaches Phillip DiGuglielmo and Massimo Scali. \u201cWhat the hell?\u201d Her disbelief was palpable, a reflection of a journey that saw her retire in 2022 at age 16, only to return last year after rediscovering her love for the sport on a ski trip. Liu\u2019s victory capped a remarkable season, following a second-place finish at the U.S. Championships in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Alysa LIU (USA) | Women Free Skating | ISU World Championships | Boston 2025 | #FigureSkating\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PogASnNhKDY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9 YouTube\/&nbsp;Skating ISU<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sakamoto\u2019s Silver Lining<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sakamoto, who started the night in fifth after a shaky short program (71.03), mounted a fierce comeback in her bid to match American Carol Heiss\u2019s four-title streak from the 1950s and \u201860s. Dressed in black, she channeled the showmanship of \u201cAll That Jazz\u201d from <em>Chicago<\/em>, landing two triple Lutzes and feeding off the crowd\u2019s energy. Her free skate scored 147.00\u2014tops of the night\u2014but a two-footed landing on an early combination left her just shy of Liu at 217.98 overall, earning silver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKaori fought with everything she had,\u201d her coach said post-performance. \u201cShe\u2019s a champion, and this silver is a testament to her power and grace.\u201d Sakamoto\u2019s podium finish kept Japan\u2019s streak alive, though her quest for a historic fourth title fell short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chiba Secures Bronze<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Japan\u2019s Mone Chiba, second after the short program with 73.44, delivered a composed and elegant free skate to claim bronze with 215.24. Her program featured a clean triple Lutz-triple toe loop combination, though minor errors on two triples kept her from challenging the top two. At 19, Chiba\u2019s first world championship medal underscored her growing maturity, capping a breakout season. \u201cI\u2019m so happy to be here with Kaori and Alysa,\u201d she said, smiling beside her compatriots on the podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">American Depth Shines<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. showcased unprecedented depth, placing three women in the top five for the first time since 2001. Isabeau Levito, the 2024 world silver medalist, overcame a fall on her opening triple flip-triple toe combination in her balletic \u201cLiebestraum\u201d program. The 18-year-old rallied to land every subsequent jump, scoring 138.00 in the free skate for a total of 209.84, finishing fourth. \u201cAfter that fall, I just wanted it to be over,\u201d Levito admitted. \u201cBut I\u2019m proud I kept going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reigning U.S. champion Amber Glenn rounded out the top five with 205.65. Her free skate opened with a triple Axel\u2014a rare feat in women\u2019s skating\u2014but a step-out on a later jump kept her from the podium. \u201cI\u2019ve been battling fatigue and some off-ice challenges,\u201d Glenn said, referencing her undefeated season capped by December\u2019s Grand Prix Final win. \u201cFifth at worlds is still a huge honor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Night of Drama and Legacy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The absence of Russian skaters, banned since 2022 due to the invasion of Ukraine, opened the field, but the competition was no less fierce. Liu\u2019s triumph ended a 19-year drought for American women at worlds, a drought that had stretched through four Olympic cycles without a medal. Her teammates\u2019 strong showings signal a resurgence for U.S. women\u2019s skating ahead of the 2026 Milano-Cortina Olympics, where Liu, Levito, and Glenn could vie to end a 24-year Olympic gold drought since Sarah Hughes in 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Liu spun into her final layback pose, the TD Garden erupted, a white-hot wall of sound celebrating not just a victory but a story of redemption. \u201cI\u2019m not going to lie, this is an insane story,\u201d Liu said, laughing. \u201cI don\u2019t know how I came back to be world champion.\u201d For the roaring Boston crowd\u2014and a nation watching\u2014Friday night was proof that sometimes, the most unexpected comebacks write the greatest chapters in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The championships conclude Saturday with the free dance and men\u2019s free skate, where the U.S. aims to continue its dominance after winning three of four disciplines so far. But for now, the women\u2019s free skate stands as the unforgettable highlight of 2025\u2019s worlds\u2014a night where Liu\u2019s golden glow lit the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By Vitalina Andrushchenko, Staff Writer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The women\u2019s free skate at the 2025 World Figure Skating Championships on Friday night was a dazzling display of resilience, artistry, and history-making performances, with Alysa Liu of the United States stealing the show.
