'60 Minutes' interviews Olympic hopeful Alysa Liu

The Chinese American skater is back and looking forward to this year's Winter Olympics.

Alysa Liu, the skating star, is the United States favorite to win a Gold Medal in Women's singles skate, a feat that hasn't happened in decades.

After "retiring" as a teenager, Liu says her "second act" in the sport shifted to a more mature approach - one in which she was in more control and one she takes more joy.

“I get to pick my own programme music. I get to help with the creative process of the programme. If I feel like I’m skating too much, I’ll back down,” she explained in the "60 Minutes" Sunday, Jan. 4.

“If I feel like I’m not skating enough I’ll ramp it up. No one’s going to starve me or tell me what I can or can’t eat.”
