The 26-year-old won her first gold after making her Olympic debut. Up next? She skates next week in the women's individual competition.
American figure skater Amber Glenn told press she didn’t know if she “could have felt worse out there” in her free skate of the team event at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics ."It wasn’t how I wanted to feel," Glenn told NBC after her skate.
"I was really proud of the mental strength I had that it would not have been the program I would have put out after a mistake a few years ago. So, I’m very proud of the fight. At the practices here I’ve been on fire honestly, doing clean programs. So, I just felt really not my best today, so I was just disappointed in that."U.S. figure skater Amber Glenn has been keeping tabs on the music clearance issues surrounding Spanish figure skater Tomàs-Llorenç Guarino Sabaté and his Minions-themed performance. Glenn, who at 26-years-old became the oldest U.S. women's Olympic skater in nearly a century, was asked what she thought went wrong. "I think, honestly, I got here really early and was just like go, go, go, go, and the adrenaline was really up, and I think I just crashed a bit," she said.Where to watch, stream Amber Glenn at the 2026 Winter Olympics Figure skater Amber Glenn once hid parts of herself to fit into a sport that prized perfection.
