''There is more spilled blood than water in Gaza'': Olympic star

Twenty-year-old figure skater Alysa Liu dominated the 2026 Winter Olympics, winning two gold medals and becoming the first American woman to secure individual Olympic gold in figure skating since Sarah Hughes in 2002, the Quds News Network reported.

Hawzah News Agency- Beyond her athletic achievements, Liu has drawn attention for her outspoken pro-Palestine and anti-genocide stance. Ahead of the Olympics, she addressed social and political issues in the US, highlighting what she termed as “faults in our own government''.

“There’s so many protests that are going on, and I’ve attended. Coming from a family of immigrants, I think immigrants deserve rights'', Liu told ABC last October. “I think it’s a little silly, especially in America''.

Liu has used her platform to draw attention to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. On social media, she wrote: “There is more spilled blood than drinkable water in Gaza.” She has also participated in pro-Palestine demonstrations, earning praise for aligning her public profile with her advocacy.
