Alysa Liu won two Olympic gold medals by doing things her way. And, her coach says, Liu hopes to keep doing that once she leaves Italy on Sunday. “No press tour right away, no nothing,” coach Phillip DiGuglielmo said Saturday via telephone from Milan, not long before Liu closed down the exhibition gala’s solo performances. We may have to ask the rink management (in Oakland, Calif.) to close the rink when she trains because of the attention she has gotten. She wants to be Alysa.”
