Liu 'grateful, honoured' after US win team title

TOKYO -

Liu, who walked away from the sport in 2022 at the age of 16 before returning to the ice in 2024, topped the women's free skate with a season-best score of 150.97, ahead of American teammate Amber Glenn.

The result sealed victory for the US in the six-team season-ending competition, with Japan finishing second and Italy third.

Liu won her first world title in Boston in March and the 19-year-old was satisfied with her latest success. She said: "I'm really grateful and I'm honoured. It really just makes me want to work so much harder because I feel like I can put out much better."

Glenn finished second with 148.93 points, ahead of Kaori Sakamoto of Japan with 145.00.
