The 20-year-old took home two gold medals for Team US and has basically been everywhere since she left the podium.

In an interview with Cosmo Sport back in January, Alysa talked about her relationship status and why being in a relationship would be really hard for her right now.

“I have so much love in my life already, and I have so many amazing people, I just haven’t felt the need to look for more or look elsewhere. I really love myself. And my standards are quite high, too,” Alysa said.

As a full-time figure skater and sports icon, Alysa doesn’t have a lot of free time on her hands.

“If I were to date someone, we’d each have to make tons of sacrifices. It’s just not worth it at this point to build something. I think when it comes, it will,” she continued.
