The 2026 Winter Olympics Games have officially completed with athletes from all over the world making names for themselves. US figure skater Alysa Liu bagged 2 gold medals during the games. Now this is in the rear view mirror, she is eyeing a new prize, an Icon Series skin in ‘Fortnite.‘
Having a ‘Fortnite’ skin is something that many celebrities, creators, and even athlete, so her wanting to enter the battle royale is understandable. It is the ultimate flex to have skin in the game, and this is what Liu wants now.
Alysa Liu Wants Her ‘Fortnite’ Icon Skin
In a recent interview with ‘USA Today,’ Alysa Liu showed her interest in having the skin. She said, “I would love Fortnite to do a skin on me! I would buy it!” After becoming the first American woman to win individual figure skating gold in 24 years, her popularity has skyrocketed, and Epic Games can surely think about fulfilling her wish.
Furthermore, the interviewer also asked the gold medalist whether she wants another gold medal or become the best ‘Fortnite’ player ever. “I mean, neithe Is that an option? Yeah, cuz like that’s no fun. If you’re the best Fortnite player, you just win all the games. Like that’s kind of boring,” she stated.
Additionally, Liu isn’t the only member of the Blade Angels who loves gaming. Amber Glenn, who secured a team gold, openly expressed her obsession with ‘Magic: The Gathering.‘

The fusion of modern pop culture and Olympic sport reached a new high during the figure skating gala. South Korea’s Lee Hae-in delivered a showstopping performance set to music from the global sensation ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters,’ who recently collaborated with ‘Fortnite.’ Lee performed a high-energy routine to the track ‘What It Sounds Like.’
How Would Alysa Liu’s ‘Fortnite’ Skin Look Like?
If Epic Games moves forward with the “Icon Series” treatment, fans are already pitching the perfect bundle. Liu’s gold-sequined dress from her historic MacArthur Park routine is the obvious choice for a primary style, but a “Super Chill Alysa” edited style, complete with her signature big white Team USA coat, would be a hit for Zero Build players.

The real missed opportunity would be the back bling. While fellow medalist Chloe Kim’s bundle missed a gold medal accessory, Epic can rectify that by giving Liu a reactive medal that shines brighter as she gets more eliminations. For now, Liu is back home at UCLA, balancing her psychology studies with her new status as the most gamer-friendly gold medalist in the world.
