Alysa Liu practices pre-competition ritual with Jimmy Fallon

Alysa Liu appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday. She convinced Fallon to take part in her pre-competition ritual.

“My coach taught me this,” she said. “I’ve been doing it since I was younger. If I don’t do it, I’m like, ‘Oh no. I’m gonna do bad.’ So I do it every time just to make sure I do well.”

She jumps up and down three times before landing on her right leg, simulating some of her jumping elements from competition.
