Overview
- On The Tonight Show, Liu presented Jimmy Fallon a wig styled like her signature halo hair, and he put it on for a photo.
- At NBC's Today, Daniel Radcliffe met Liu backstage, praised her Milan free skate as "the most joyful thing I've watched," and politely refused to wear her medal, calling it "stolen valor."
- The 20-year-old returned from Milano-Cortina with two golds, including the first U.S. women's singles title since 2002.
- One medal had briefly been surrendered for replacement after its ribbon detached during the Games, a standard Olympic procedure, with Liu later displaying both medals again on TV.
- The encounters drew wide social-media attention, with fans applauding Radcliffe’s stance and U.S. Figure Skating chiming in with a playful Harry Potter reference.
