Alysa Liu on the Olympics, Celebratory Tiramisu, and Creating Healthy Boundaries


Are you a superstitious athlete? Are there any good luck rituals you have before a competition?

I’m not superstitious at all. In fact, I wouldn’t call this a dream, but I really want to try to do all the superstitions to see if I don’t perform well. I want to kind of test it out. An experiment of sorts.

Speaking of gold, where are you going to keep or display your Olympic medals when you get home?

I did not think about that. I’ll probably just keep them in the box and put them somewhere where I probably shouldn’t disclose.

Have you been able to explore Italy at all? What’s the best thing you’ve done or eaten?

Yeah, my schedule here has been really good because after the team event, I had so much time in between, so I went to Bergamo a ton. I even spent three consecutive nights there and was training and also just chilling, getting away from the athletes village for a sec. I also went to Lake Como, and that’s where I had the best tiramisu, actually, at this restaurant in Lake Como. So it’s been fun to just roam around.

After a long day of practice, what’s your shower routine?

First, I start by just standing there for a long time. Then I wash my body first. I use the Moisture Glide Venus Razor, and then I start with my hair. I shampoo twice because that’s what I’ve been told to do by professionals…watch me be wrong, watch me be wrong! And then I use a hair mask or conditioner. I like honey hair products. There’s this one Japanese brand I use for body wash. It’s really good. And then I use hair oil after.
