The brother of Olympic figure skating gold medalist Alysa Liu has been competing as a female athlete and steadily collecting victories in California high school girls’ sports, according to a new report.
Jaylin Liu, who previously went by the name Joshua and only recently began identifying as female, has taken first place in every 200-meter and 400-meter girls’ race he entered for Albany High School this season, including the Tri-County Athletic League Finals, according to reporting from Reduxx.
He is ranked the top “female” runner on his team in those events and the best in the league in the quarter-mile.
In 2025 alone, Jaylin Liu secured eight first-place finishes at seasonal meets, a silver medal at the NCS Bayshore Championship in the 400-meter, and a gold medal in the Tri-County Athletic League Frosh-Soph Championship 200-meter race.

Beyond track, he has also competed in girls’ varsity basketball, earning a silver medal at a championship, and played ultimate frisbee for El Cerrito High School at the Ultimate High School National Invite, where his performance was described as extremely dominant.
Reduxx reports:
Jaylin was one of five children born to surrogates, though he had a different egg donor than his Olympian sister Alysa. The children’s father, Arthur Liu, has said that he explicitly sought out white egg donors for his children.
Arthur was briefly married to a much older woman named Qing Xin Yan, who also goes by the name Mary. While she was the legal guardian for Arthur’s children and helped raise them when they were young, she is not biologically related to any of them.
Yan is a former high-ranking member of the Zhong Gong, a “spiritual movement” which is designated as a cult in China. Zhong Gong practitioners reject modern medical science and believe meditative practices can cure illness and give people supernatural abilities. Yan was married to the founder of the movement, Hong Bao Zhang, for 12 years. In 2003, Yan sued Zhang for $23 million, alleging he had abused her while they were married. Arthur Liu was her lawyer.
Despite being Alysa’s sibling, Jaylin has maintained a low profile and rarely mentions or features his sister on his social media. However, he was present for Alysa’s gold medal-winning Olympic Winter Games figure skating routine in Milan, and was seen watching her from the sidelines with their father.
“The Liu family represents two opposing forces: the pinnacle of excellence in female sports and, at the same time, a profound threat to the integrity of those sports,” Marshi Smith of the Independent Council on Women’s Sports told Reduxx. “Alysa’s achievements are the result of years of dedication and hard work beginning in childhood. By contrast, her brother’s recent personal ambitions threaten to undermine the same developmental pathways that so many girls depend on to blaze their own trails to greatness.”
“Sports leaders and elected officials have a duty to protect female athletic opportunities rather than indulge the desires of boys at the expense of girls. Despite the recent Supreme Court ruling, too many officials remain committed to policies that threaten to destroy the athletic dreams of the next generation of girls. This injustice must end nationwide.”
Alysa Liu has not publicly addressed having a transgender sibling or her take on biological men playing in women’s and girls’ sports.
Jaylin attended the 2026 Winter Olympic Games to watch his sister compete.
