Since winning the gold medal in figure skating at the Olympics, Alyssa Liu has taken the internet by storm not only for her astonishing figure skating skills but also for the pure joy she brings to the sport. She has become known as someone who skates with passion and without taking things too seriously. This was exemplified once again when she performed as part of the Blade Angels with her fellow Team USA skaters, who performed a routine from ‘Golden’ from K-Pop Demon Hunters.
The joyous and fun-filled routine might not be the kind of performance that Music Man readers would expect Olympic athletes to perform, but Alyssa Liu, Amber Glenn, and Isabeau Levito captured exactly what people love most about figure skating: the pure entertainment value of the sport. One viewer noted that, despite the choreography not being Olympic-level, “you can feel all the artistry of artists at the top of their game” throughout their performance.
When I watched the performance, I was blown away by how, despite the routine being upbeat and simplistic, the absolutely incredible level of skill shone throughout from all of the performers. A moment that stuck out to me in particular is when, one by one, each of the skaters skidded across the ice in a dramatic pose, executing a dramatic move with both poise and commitment. To me, this moment exemplifies the technical and performance ability on display throughout the routine.
Since their appearance at the 2026 Winter Olympics, the Blade Angels have been performing as a trio as part of the Stars On Ice show. Our Music Man readers who have been following Alyssa Liu’s stunning rise to stardom will be pleased to hear she also performed solo numbers during her time on the show. To the joy of the crowd, she also performed her routine to ‘Stateside’ by PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson—the same routine she performed at the Olympic Exhibition Gala.
Since Torvill and Dean took the world by storm, no one expected any other skaters to reach their same enormous levels of public popularity. However, since their appearance at the Olympics, the Blade Angels seem set to change that. Their fun-filled attitude toward their craft has helped the general public fall in love with figure skating all over again, and, with enthusiasm only seeming to grow, there is no doubt that the demand to see these wonderful artists perform will continue to grow alongside it.
Alyssa Liu’s infectious joy and elite skill make her one of skating’s most captivating personalities right now. Her Blade Angels routine—with Amber Glenn and Isabeau Levito—reminds us that entertainment and excellence can go hand in hand. Want to see more from these stars and watch the full performance?
