Teen burnout to Olympic gold: Alysa Liu ‘looking to inspire others’

MILAN:Newly crowned Olympic women’s figure skating champion Alysa Liu says she wants her story to “inspire others” after the golden return of a former child prodigy who suffered burnout. Liu stepped away from figure skating aged just 16 years, tired of the endless training and wanting to live the life of a normal teenager. But she returned to the rink even stronger two years later, and on Thursday night the 20-year-old produced an electrifying performance that put the US women back on top of the Olympic women’s podium for the first time since 2002.
