During her long program, Liu became the first American female skater to complete a quadruple Lutz in a competition.

She fell on her second triple Axel, but was able to successfully execute her following six triple jumps. She also earned level-4 scores for her three spins and top marks for her step sequence, earning a 59.66 program component score.
