Alysa Liu is left to carry the hopes of the “Blade Angels” into the women's free skate at the Milan Cortina Olympics. The reigning world champion delivered a stellar short program that featured a triple lutz-triple loop, the hardest combination that any woman tried Tuesday night, and sat two points back of Japan's Ami Nakai and right behind Kaori Sakamoto on the leaderboard. Isabeau Levito was dinged for under-rotating her triple loop and got leveled down for her step sequence, which is where she tends to pick up points on the competition.
