Olympic figure skaters Alysa Liu and Amber Glenn have captured online attention after being seen recreating a viral dance from Miss Grand Thailand during a recent practice session. The light hearted moment, which took place off competition ice, quickly circulated among fans who praised the pair for their playful energy and camaraderie.

Both Liu and Glenn are recognised for their technical strength and artistic expression on the ice, with Liu known for her athletic jumps and Glenn for her powerful performances and consistency in competition. Their appearance together during training highlighted a more relaxed side of elite sport, where athletes often use downtime to unwind between demanding practice schedules.

The dance they attempted originates from a viral Miss Grand Thailand routine that spread widely across social media platforms, becoming a popular trend among celebrities, influencers and athletes. Liu and Glenn’s version was filmed informally during practice, showing them stepping away from structured training to engage with the trend in a spontaneous way.

The clip sparked positive reactions from fans of figure skating, many of whom appreciated seeing top level athletes share a candid and humorous moment. Social media users highlighted the contrast between the precision required in competitive skating and the carefree nature of viral dance trends, noting how the two skaters appeared comfortable embracing both worlds.

Alysa Liu, a former US national champion, has been widely praised for her comeback to elite skating after stepping away from the sport and later returning to competition. Amber Glenn, meanwhile, has continued to build her reputation through strong international performances and consistent growth within the sport’s highest levels.
