Murals and Local Tributes Celebrate Alysa Liu in Oakland and L.A.

Oakland has announced a community-wide celebration following the Olympic champion’s win.

Overview

  • A new mural in Gardena depicts Alysa Liu pretending to bite her gold medal alongside two skating images.
  • Oakland’s Illuminaries painted a roughly 15-foot mural in Temescal showing Liu’s signature thizz face with green-and-gold accents and the phrase “Shout out Oakland.”
  • Illuminaries co-founder Steve Ha said Liu “reps the Bay,” framing the artwork as a hometown salute to her Olympic breakthrough.
  • Fentons Creamery introduced an “Alysa’s Gold” flavor—caramel ice cream with a caramel swirl and golden Oreos—and has promised Liu ice cream for life.
  • At a San Jose Sharks game, mascot Sharkie donned a Liu-style wig and displayed a sign featuring her medal-pose image to energize the crowd.
