US figure skating star Alysa Liu appears to withdraw from World Championships in Prague
Sarah Everhardt will replace Alysa Liu on the U.S. team after Liu withdrew from the World Figure Skating Championships, a common post-Olympics decision to rest, officials said.
- On March 24, the world championships begin at the O2 Arena in Prague, and Olympic figure skating champion Alysa Liu has withdrawn from the event later this month.
- It is common for Olympic athletes to skip the following world championships, and she helped the U.S. defend its Olympic team title last month at the Milan Cortina Games.
- Bradie Tennell, the first alternate, declined, so Sarah Everhardt will take Liu's place on the U.S. team, and Liu would have skated with Olympic teammates Amber Glenn and Isabeau Levito.
- The 20-year-old Liu, defending world champion from Boston last year, has quickly become a star in U.S. figure skating due to her strong results and distinctive style.
- Several other Olympic medalists and teams have also withdrawn, including Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara, Sara Conti and Niccolo Macii, and Loena Hendrickx, who endured injuries and finished 14th.
