Personal life

Liu was born on 4 July 1974 in Qiqihar, China.[1] He moved with his family to Australia in 1994 and became a citizen in August 1996.[2]

Career

Early in his skating career, Liu represented China under the given name Yueming.[2] He placed 6th at the 1993 World Junior Championships and 21st at the senior World Championships later that season. He won the gold medal at the 1993 Winter Universiade.

In 1996, he began competing for Australia as Anthony Liu.[2] He won his national title and was sent to the World Championships, where he finished 22nd. The next season, Liu earned a berth to the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano and placed 25th.[3] At the 1998 Australian Nationals, he became the first Australian skater to land a quadruple jump (toe loop).[2] On his way to his career-best Four Continents result, 5th in 1999, Liu landed a quadruple-triple toe loop combination.[2]

In 2002, Liu achieved a 10th-place finish in his second Olympics.[3] Alongside Adrian Swan (Oslo 1952), it was Australia's best Olympic result in figure skating. He ended the season with his career-best Worlds result, 7th.
