1) Alysa Liu 2025 world champion figure skating
2025 after 3 year retirement, 19 yr. old Alysa Liu wins gold at world championship

“She’s a beast on the StairMaster,” [Alysa's coach] DiGuglielmo said.

Then she went to her first competition in the fall in Budapest and won it.
Then she won another in Zagreb and almost won the U.S. nationals.
The worlds though were different.

“A medal would have been good but first?"
His mouth sat agape at the thought.

She had a different energy about her.
She never rattled.
She rarely had meltdowns.
She had an innate ability to radiate happiness (s'-āmisā pīti + sukha) while maintaining an icy focus (samādhi, ekagga citta).
“Alysa is not the same as the rest of us, we have doubt, she doesn’t have doubt,” he said.
“It just doesn’t occur to her.” (citta-samādhi-...iddhi-pāda)
And watch Alysa's composure, relaxation (passaddhi pacification awakening factor), in this talk show interview at age 14,
