Alysa Liu finishes Beijing 2022 with ITZY 'Loco' gala performance

It's been quite a fortnight for 16-year-old American figure skating star Alysa Liu, who completed her Beijing 2022 in exhibition gala.

Liu finished seventh on her Winter Olympic Games debut in the women’s singles competition won by Anna Shcherbakova, and subsequently received an invitation to the showpiece event on the final day of the Games.

The California-born skater took to the ice at the Capital Indoor Stadium on Sunday and performed to 'Loco' by K-pop stars ITZY.

The official video clip for Loco has been viewed more than 151 million times on YouTube, and Liu’s performance has gone viral among ITZY fans on other social media platforms including Instagram, on which ITZY has more than 15 million followers.

Skating with a broad smile on her face on Sunday, the teenager replicated dance moves from the film clip, sang along to the music and recreated specific hand actions and moves.

She finished with a fun fall sit spin and later posted on Instagram: "MY FAVORITE GALA PROGRAM IVE EVER DONE AND I GOT TO SKATE TO ITZY?!!?!! this is actually insane. this is such a great way to end the olympics!! i couldn’t be happier
