Alysa Liu Scraps Program Amid d4vd Investigation

World champion Alysa Liu said she is scrapping a newly debuted short program set to “This Is How It Feels” by d4vd and Laufey after authorities found the remains of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez in a Tesla registered to d4vd, David Anthony Burke. The Los Angeles Police Department says the body was found Sept. 8 and investigators have searched a home linked to d4vd; his representatives say he is cooperating, he has not been publicly named a suspect and no cause of death has been released. Liu, who debuted the routine at the 2025 Lombardia Trophy and won the short program, announced the change on Instagram on Sept. 24 and told the Associated Press she and her team will pursue a different direction that aligns with her values and will not rush the creative process. She is working with coaches Phillip DiGuglielmo and Massimo Scali on new music, will use older programs in the interim, and is preparing for the Grand Prix season and a potential 2026 Olympic bid.
