imagine having the time, money, and resources to train like this. this would be my absolute dream come true

[@sundaemint7703]

I would LOVE to see her in the news when she’s older! And win lots of medals!

[@vikav1682]

It might be unlikely for her to be on the news since there is hundreds of children like her

[@myaccounttorun3485]

She is soo cute and looks just like an angle when figure skating

When I was 8, I couldn’t tell the difference between “him” and “her”

[@professionalmanofseriousbu9318]

Bro I think you may have been dyslexic

[@alyaalsuwaidi9841]

Let me tell ya somethin m not tryin to be mean but when ur comparing u have to compare in the same category like u have to say for example ( when I was 8 I couldn’t even skate) Bc maybe she also doesn’t know the difference between him or her so yeah

[@breademperoar9613]

@@alyaalsuwaidi9841 ?, I’m just trying to emphasise that my base skills in life wasn’t up to what this girl was. She would probably know the difference between him and her since she’d have to communicate with adults for her competitions

[@ShesooBreezy]

To be this young and persistent, I love this!! Can’t wait to see her at Olympics!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@志瑜杨]

This girl and the girl who won the speed skating competition after falling… are going to be making records and winning medals soon. I can feel it.

[@zelgkopitar8799]

What a remarkable young girl. Great dedication.

[@minchi_the_aoigirl]

*She will be the Youngest Competitor in the Senior Championship in the future*
I am looking forward for her 😊😊

[@mr.baymax6809]

Her: doing double/triple jumps at 8
Me: 👁👄👁

[@vivianpham9675]

On the ice.

[@xiaomose7495]

Amazing!! Go Alice ❤❤❤

Why are people saying early or first when this was a re-upload and a lot of people have seen it since?

[@hanikazuha]

I remember i watched this video yesterday

[@Max-fd9im]

That girl is gonna be an Olympic star you just watch 😁😊

[@PROKINGREX]

Is it just me or that I have seen this somewhere before.

[@gadgetgasspoll2923]

Yes

[@flyindolfin0262]

Its a reupload apparently

[@Daniel-qx1nm]

She study’s on the car?!!?? Wow on the car I look at screens all the way

[@shin_a]

I look out the window and count how many people I see

[@Cloxxyy]

She is gonna be the next Yuzuru Hanyu

[@ikramtanyafi4601]

Amazing 👏😍

[@Frooti.loopz23]

She's going to be too young for 2022 but maybe 2026?? Who knows!!

[@amaterasu777]

Still too young. You have to be at least 17 to compete in the Olympics. The earliest she'd be eligible is 2030, and even then just barely.

[@prestothedragon1267]

They re-uploaded this

[@gadgetgasspoll2923]

Yes

[@tanzil88]

What happen to the first video?

[@prestothedragon1267]

@@tanzil88 it probably was because of the comments saying that the parents forced it on her

[@punkgirlphoto]

when was it uploaded originally?

[@tanzil88]

@@punkgirlphoto one day before the new one I guess

Is this yuxuan liu? The way she jumps looks like her

[@thomashe2496]

my sister have been skate before

[@EmilSosnin]

Is that her tiger mom on the phone?

[@jonathanng138]

Sad these kids get beat if by their parents if they don't perform well

[@kw2080]

If her parents are really spending $76,000 a year on this at age 8, then yeah I think they will except results.

Nothing special about this video... All figure skaters train like this from early childhood

[@jessw391]

a lot of figure skaters you see in the olympics are even as avanced as her at age 8

[@hannibaljustincase9985]

@@jessw391 unfortunately training 2 hours a day won't get you to the Olympics. don't get me wrong, I understand her situation and lack of other possibilities, but truth is Olympic figure skaters train much more

[@jessw391]

@@hannibaljustincase9985 i understand that but look at where shes come in just 2 years. really makes you wonder what else she can do

[@lynni3461]

@@hannibaljustincase9985 they train more but you forgot that she is only 8 years old. So if she gets older she is going to train more. If you train too hard in early years you stay short that's why athletes are always short. And remember she's only 8 and I think you are not a figure skater. I am 17 and I train five and a half hours a day on ice plus warming up and 1.5 hours of of-ice training.
