Olympic figure skating champion Alysa Liu<\/strong>, 20, posted on Instagram Stories describing a disturbing encounter at an airport where someone chased her to her car after she returned to the United States from the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan.<\/span><\/p>\n Liu shared the account on Wednesday, March 4, writing bluntly about what she experienced when she landed.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSo I land at the airport, & there\u2019s a crowd waiting at the exit with cameras & things for me to sign,\u201d she wrote. \u201cAll up in my personal space. Someone chased me to my car bruh. Please do not do that to me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The incident came just days after Liu made history at the Milan Games. She won the women\u2019s singles figure skating competition, earning the first individual gold for Team USA since 2002.<\/span><\/p>\n Her program in the women\u2019s final on Feb. 19 was set to \u201cMacArthur Park\u201d by Donna Summer<\/strong>. She also won a second gold medal as part of the United States team figure skating competition earlier in the Games.<\/span><\/p>\n Two gold medals, a historic achievement \u2014 and within days she was publicly asking strangers not to follow her to her vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n Since returning from Italy, Liu has been in New York City making the kind of media rounds that come with sudden Olympic fame.<\/span><\/p>\n She appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen<\/em> and Today<\/em>, where she met Daniel Radcliffe<\/strong>. She visited Simu Liu<\/strong> and the cast of Oh, Mary!<\/em> at the Lyceum Theatre. She appeared on the cover of Teen Vogue<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n Liu has been engaging with fans, doing interviews, and sharing all of it with her followers. She is clearly not someone who wants to hide from the public.<\/span><\/p>\n That makes the airport encounter all the more notable. The issue was not about wanting or avoiding attention. The issue is someone physically chasing her and a crowd getting in her personal space without her consent.<\/span><\/p>\n There is a significant difference between Liu choosing to appear on a talk show set and a stranger pursuing her at an airport exit. One involves consent. The other does not.<\/span><\/p>\n
