After making history as the first US women's skating gold medalist in more than 20 years, Alysa Liu's Olympic skating routine is officially entering the world of Fortnite. While a full character model hasn't arrived yet, Epic Games is celebrating her incredible talent with a brand-new addition to the game.

The emote is available in the item shop right now for 500 V-Bucks. It serves as a digital tribute to her recent achievements on the global stage.

From the Ice to the Battle Royale
The transition from professional skating to digital icon feels like a natural step for Liu. In February, she even told USA Today that she would love for Epic Games to create a dedicated Fortnite skin based on her.
Her enthusiasm for the crossover is clear. "I would buy it!" she said when discussing the possibility of her own character appearing in the game. By bringing Alysa Liu's Olympic skating routine to the community, Fortnite continues its trend of celebrating real-world legends through interactive content.
