While the Olympics may be over, Liu\u2019s influence still looms large \u2014 over the weekend, her name made it into a Saturday Night Live sketch with Connor Storrie<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the sketch, where Storrie is playing a popular high-school jock befriending the school\u2019s resident nerd, Storrie\u2019s character name-checked Liu during a breakthrough moment: \u201cAnd as that ice-skating girl with the striped hair taught us,\u201d he said, \u201cyou can still be a baddie even if you\u2019re a little quirked up.\u201d Liu reposted the meme<\/a> on her Instagram Story, captioning it \u201cperiod.\u201d<\/p>\n USA figure skater Alysa Liu shared the SNL sketch where Connor Storrie mentioned her!
