Alysa Liu, the most caring, carefree, selfless, happy and optimistic skater in the women’s competition at the Olympics, won the gold medal.

Alysa Liu put on an exceptional short program, Amber Glenn struggled after a strong start, and Isabeau Levito had a clean performance.

Alysa Liu said she doesn't need to win a medal in women's figure skating, but the U.S. needs her to so it can salvage Olympics.
