"Alysa Liu stole the show at the Winter Olympics this year, becoming the first US women's skating gold medalist in more than 20 years."
"The Stateside emote, as it's called, is available now for 500 V-Bucks. It’s an impressively faithful recreation of Liu's performance."
"In February, Liu told USA Today that she would love for Epic to create a Fortnite skin based on her. 'I would buy it!' she said."
"This wasn't the first time a popular video game adopted an Olympics routine for in-game content, as Australian breakdancer RayGun's performance in 2024 later came to Black Ops 6 as an emote."
Alysa Liu made history as the first US women's skating gold medalist in over two decades at the Winter Olympics. Following her victory, she expressed a desire for a Fortnite skin. Although that has not materialized, a new emote called the Stateside emote, reflecting her Olympic performance, is now available for purchase. Liu is among several celebrities who have requested Fortnite skins, and the game continues to incorporate popular culture, including Olympic routines and fan-made content from franchises like Star Wars.
