Depuis plus d’une décennie, l’Union européenne construit un cadre de régulation du numérique pensé comme une réponse progressive à sa dépendance technologique. Bien avant l’irruption de l’IA dans le débat public, les questions de souveraineté, de concentration des plateformes et de maîtrise des infrastructures ont façonné une doctrine européenne singulière. Mais depuis 2025, cette approche […]

Depuis plusieurs éditions, le CES de Las Vegas promet une robotique plus proche du quotidien. Longtemps cantonnés aux démonstrations spectaculaires ou aux vidéos virales, les robots humanoïdes semblaient encore éloignés d’un déploiement concret. L’édition 2026 marque pourtant un tournant, et entre les annonces industrielles, les stratégies d’industrialisation et les usages domestiques esquissés, les humanoïdes ne […]

Annoncée en février 2022, la disparition progressive de l’ADSL devait symboliser la fin d’une époque pour les télécoms français. Pourtant, alors que la fibre optique est largement déployée sur le territoire, la bascule totale prend plus de temps que prévu. Orange vient d’acter un nouveau report dans son calendrier, révélant ainsi les limites actuelles du […]

By the time she retired from figure skating at the age of 16 in April 2022, Alysa Liu had in many ways already lived a full life. She had medaled in an international competition, winning bronze at the 2022 World Figure Skating Championships in Montpellier, France. She represented the United States in the Olympics, competing at the 2022 Beijing Winter Games. She had traveled the world, modeled for Ralph Lauren and even appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” accomplishments most people would chase for a lifetime. What Liu hadn’t experienced, however, was anything resembling a normal childhood. Which informed her decision to walk away from skating four years ago. “I started when I was 5 and I basically didn’t stop until 16, and I was homeschooled my whole life,” Liu explained to NBC News about her decision to retire. “And I’m a very social person. I crave human connection. And I was living by myself for many years, no family, no friends around, all for the sake of training.” Not only did Liu lack connection, but she also lacked control. “And I didn’t even pick my own programs, like people put me in dresses that I didn’t want to wear, I was literally just like a dress-up doll and I didn’t want to do it, but I felt like I had to do my duty of going to the Olympics for my younger self.” After unlacing her skates and moving out of the dorm at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado, Liu finally got to live the parts of life she missed out on. She took a whole week off from training for the first time in her life. She went on her first vacation, a trip to Mexico with friends and family, where she collected seashells and went zip-lining. She got her driver’s license so she could take her siblings to school. Liu lived what she called the “normal, teenage-girl, older-sister life” until January 2024, when she went skiing in Lake Tahoe. It was during that trip when she hit the slopes that she realized how much she missed an adrenaline rush. Being on the slopes inspired Liu to get back on the ice. She announced her return to competition in March 2024, and now — after a stunning gold medal at the 2025 World Championships — she has set her sights on Olympic hardware. 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics Oct 26, 2025 11 Olympians on the comeback trail ahead of 2026 Milan Cortina Games figure skating 23 hours ago How to watch the U.S. Figure Skating Championships today Liu, 20, is widely expected to represent the U.S. at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games. She has not been officially selected for the figure skating team, though that process will be finalized by the end of the U.S. Championships, which begin Wednesday for senior performers. And she is also expected to compete for gold in Italy after winning one in Boston at the world championships last March, a victory that cemented her comeback as much more serious than sentimental. “Everything about that performance was just amazing,” said Philip Hersh, an NBC Sports contributor and longtime Olympic writer who covered Liu’s win in Boston. “It was just, it was awe inspiring, and she landed jump after jump. I’ve seen very few other skaters ever top that, in terms of doing two flawless performances on the biggest stage — other than the Olympics — in your sport.” Liu followed up her showing in Boston with two more golds — one as part of a team at the 2025 ISU World Team Trophy, and another solo one at the 2025-26 Grand Prix Final in Nagoya. Since returning to competition, one key difference for Liu has been exerting more control over her career: She has had much more input on her costumes, music and training schedule. “She hates this term, but we almost call it Alysa 2.0,” says Phillip DiGuglielmo, Liu’s longtime coach who has worked with her before and after her retirement. “It’s like a reboot, in a way. Before, literally, she never disagreed with anything anybody ever said. But now she has complete freedom to chime in and we respect that. So, she exercises her right all the time.” Liu has gone…
