Alysa Liu Receives Key to Oakland in Video After 2026 Olympic Figure Skating Gold Medal Win

United States figure skater Alysa Liu was presented with the key to the city of Oakland after winning gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

The Oakland native received the honor during a rally on Thursday.

"I love Oakland. I've been here all my life," Liu said at the event, per TMZ Sports. "I literally walk through here every day to get to City Center for lunch from the rink over there. I could not be more proud to represent Oakland out on the big stage at the Olympics. And I want to thank y'all for the support and the love. I feel it."

Fellow Olympic gold medalists Andre Ward, Brian Boitano and Kristi Yamaguchi congratulated Liu on her accomplishment while Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry sent her a video message.

"Alysa, congratulations on your gold medal achievement representing not only the United States, but the Bay Area, Oakland," Curry said in the message, via TMZ Sports. "Super proud. Congratulations. You did that. From one gold medal winner to another, keep doing your thing, keep representing the Bay and we love you."

During the 2026 Games, Liu won gold in the women's singles competition and also helped the United States stand atop the podium in the team event.

She became the first U.S. woman to win an individual figure skating medal since 2006.
