Alysa Liu has been considered a figure skating prodigy ever since she was a kid. When she was just 12 years old, she was the youngest U.S. woman to land a triple axel in a competition. Then at 13, she became the country's youngest World Champion ever.But in 2022, right as Alysa was at the height of her career, she quit the sport altogether and retired at 16. She didn't set foot in a rink for nearly two years, until a family ski trip reminded her just how much she loved the sport. Now she's competing in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy — and she's looking like one of the favorites to win gold. If she medals at all, she'd be the first U.S. woman to do it in 20 years. In this episode, we hear from Alysa on what it's like to be a child athlete competing at an elite level, what brought her back to the rink, and how she's taking ownership of her career. We also discuss Alysa's chances and her competition with senior correspondent at The Athletic Marcus Thompson, who's covering women's figure skating at the Olympics.Show Notes Alysa Liu 2025 World Championships | Skating ISU Alysa Liu left figure skating behind.

In this episode of the Contested Ground podcast, Steve Kuper and Major General (Ret'd) Dr Marcus Thompson are joined by Dr Malcolm Davis, Australian Strategic Policy Institute defence strategy and capability senior analyst, to unpack the strategic shockwaves emerging from the United States' 2026 National Defense Strategy. The trio examine what Washington's shift towards an offshore balancing posture means for Australia, including renewed pressure to lift defence spending, the implications of deterrence by denial along the first island chain, and the risks of assuming unconditional US support in a rapidly deteriorating Indo-Pacific security environment. They also explore the growing assertiveness of China, the fine line between stabilisation and accommodation, and whether Australia is approaching a modern-day version of World War II's "1939 tipping point moment" that demands greater self-reliance, expanded defence industrial capacity, and difficult conversations with the Australian public. Finally, the discussion turns to force structure, autonomous systems, guided weapons, and the hard choices facing government as Australia seeks to balance immediate readiness, AUKUS, and long-term strategic resilience in an era of uncertainty.
