Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu says she wants a Fortnite skin

Fortnite may have already selected its next Icon Series member already following the 2026 Winter Olympics. Gold medalist figure skater Alysa Liu mentioned her love for Fortnite in the days after her unprecedented performance, which led to the Epic Games responding.

Whether this collaboration was already in the works is unknown, but it seems likely to happen based the events that have unfolded.

Alysa Liu garnered more attention than almost every other athlete at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games. She shined in the women's figure skating competition with her moves and her unique halo hairstyle. Since then, her stardom has reached exponential levels.

In an interview with USA Today Sports, the gold medalist said she would "love a Fortnite skin," adding that she would buy it if Epic Games made it happen.

Not long after this interview gained attention, Fortnite's official Instagram account commented under Liu's latest post, writing, "Champions make big plays."

This interaction seems telling enough that Alysa Liu and Fortnite will be connecting soon on a potential collaboration. A similar situation unfolded recently with Chappell Roan, who recently became an in-game character. Singer Madison Beer also stated her desire for a Fortnite skin.

It seems Epic Games has its ears to the ground on any and every relevant pop culture icon that mentions Fortnite. A partnership with Alysa Liu feels like a no-brainer, but nothing concrete has leaked yet.

Pending this partnership, it's worth exploring the other Olympians that are part of Fortnite's Icon Series. Those individuals include the following:

That's an illustrious list of some of the most talented athletes in history. Alysa Liu would be another name amongst that elite lineup, and all signs point to the Fortnite crossover coming to fruition eventually.

It could be in the works at the moment, but we will have to wait and see where this collision of forces goes from here.
