意大利米兰 — 美国花样滑冰选手刘美贤(Alysa Liu)在回忆周四女子单人滑项目夺冠后”非常热烈”的观众时露出了笑容——这是美国队自2002年以来首次获得该项目金牌。
“赛场里的氛围太棒了。这就是我滑冰的原因,”周五刘美贤在意大利米兰接受哥伦比亚广播公司《周六早间新闻》联合主持人凯利·奥格雷迪采访时表示。
这位20岁的滑冰选手表示,当她滑上冰面时并不感到紧张;相反,她专注于这项运动带给她的快乐。为了”保护自己的内心平静”,她身边围绕着让她保持脚踏实地的朋友。她说,在必要时她也学会了拒绝。
刘美贤承认,成为一名奥运选手需要平衡努力、奉献精神和对这项运动真正的热爱。
“我喜欢努力训练并将自己推向极限,但要做到这一点,我需要休息,”刘美贤强调了认识到何时优先考虑恢复的重要性。

她13岁时成为美国最年轻的女子冠军,创造了历史,随后在2022年北京冬奥会上首次亮相并获得第六名,16岁时却令人震惊地宣布退役。但两年后,她又重新燃起了重返冰场的渴望。
“我当时并没有计划在这个时候重返赛场,”她在1月份接受《60分钟》采访时表示,”基本上我只是想要快速获得多巴胺的刺激。”
2024年6月,刘美贤开始在教练马西莫·斯卡利和菲利普·迪古列尔莫的指导下全职训练。她的回归并非为了奖牌,而是为了这段旅程。
“我希望[我的故事]能鼓舞人心,也希望能让其他人……突破更多障碍,”刘美贤补充道,她还希望自己的比赛项目和个人风格能被铭记。
对于渴望成为”下一个刘美贤”的滑冰选手,她给出的建议是:”不要试图成为下一个我。”
虽然她希望自己能激励其他运动员追求自己的激情,但她也想提醒每个人要做真实的自己。
“归根结底,要给自己留点时间。独处一段时间。我觉得这对我真的很有帮助,”她建议道。
至于给年轻时的自己的建议,刘美贤表示她不会说什么。
“她会自己弄明白的。我不想改变任何事情,”刘美贤说。

Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu has advice for aspiring figure skaters: “Don’t try to be the next me”

Milan, Italy — U.S. figure skater Alysa Liu smiled as she recalled the “so hype” crowd Thursday after winning Olympic gold in the women’s singles event — a first for Team USA since 2002.
“Just the energy in the arena. That’s why I skate,” Liu told “CBS Saturday Morning” co-host Kelly O’Grady in Milan, Italy, on Friday.
The 20-year-old skater said she doesn’t feel nervous when she slides onto the ice; instead, she focuses on the joy the sport brings her. To “protect [her] peace,” she surrounds herself with friends who keep her grounded. She says she has also learned to say no when necessary.
Liu acknowledges that becoming an Olympic athlete requires a balance of hard work, dedication, and a genuine love for the sport.
“I love working hard and pushing myself to the limit, but to do that, I need rest,” Liu said, emphasizing the importance of recognizing when to prioritize recovery.

She made history as the youngest U.S. women’s champion at 13, then stunned the skating world by retiring at 16 following her 2022 Olympic debut in Beijing, where she placed sixth. But two years later, she got the itch to return to the ice.
“I wasn’t planning to return to competition at this point,” she told “60 Minutes” in January. “I just wanted quick hits of dopamine, basically.”
In June 2024, Liu started training again full time with coaches Massimo Scali and Phillip DiGuglielmo. Her comeback wasn’t about the hardware, but about the journey.
“I hope [my story is] inspiring, and I hope it allows for others to…break through more,” Liu said, adding that she also wants her program and personal style to be remembered.
For skaters aspiring to be “the next Alysa,” Liu has advice: “Don’t try to be the next me.”
While she hopes she inspires other athletes to pursue their passions, she wants to remind everyone to be their authentic selves.
“At the end of the day, take some time for yourself. Spend time alone. I think it really helped me,” she advised.
As for advice for her younger self, Liu said she wouldn’t tell her a thing.
“She’s going to figure it out herself. I don’t want to change anything,” Liu said.
