MILAN — Amber Glenn shared a message of optimism hours after her tough performance in the women’s short program that likely will keep her out of medal contention at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
‘The world has ended for me many times and yet tomorrow still comes,’ the post read. ‘Keep going.’
One of the highly touted members of the U.S. Blade Angels, Glenn was a medal contender in the women’s singles skating. She started strong in the short program strong with a triple Axel. However, she stepped out of her planned triple loop, which was ruled an invalid element and resulted in no points.
Getting no score on it was a crushing blow and Glenn was emotional as she left the ice, understanding what happened. She got a score of 67.39 and is in 13th place, essentially taking her out of the medal race.
After the event, Glenn didn’t speak to reporters, as skaters typically do after they receive their scores. Glenn still has the free skate, which takes place Thursday, Feb. 19.
