The final gold medal of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Figure Skating will be handed out Thursday as Americans Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn, and Isabeau Levito look to halt the momentum of Japanese skaters Ami Nakai and Kaori Sakamoto,

Team USA figure skater Alysa Liu delivered a superb routine to win gold in dramatic fashion, highlighting an action-packed Day 13 at the Milan Cortina Games. Liu secured the first gold medal since 2002,

According to NBC Sports, Liu is the first American woman to win a world title since Sarah Hughes in 2002. The last American woman to medal at the Olympics was Sasha Cohen, who won silver in 2006. It capped off a remarkable stretch for the 20-year-old Liu, who was born in Clovis and now trains out of Oakland.

Liu won gold with a rousing routine to "MacArthur Park" by Donna Summer. Kaori Sakamoto and Ami Nakai, both of Japan, won silver and bronze.

Three figure skaters from Team USA competed in the women's individual free skate event at the Milan Cortina Winter Games.

The Women's Figure Skating Free Skate will be the final figure skating event of the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics and it takes place on Thursday, Feb. 19.

Adeliia Petrosian came to Milan as one of the few leading medal contenders on the 13-strong “individual neutral athlete” delegation of Russians competing without the country's flag and symbols.
