2026 Olys Womens FS PBP - Missed Full of Horrors

[Wyliefan]

Here come the stupid camera angles. Sigh.

 

[tangerine dream]

How did the 3A become Amber's most consistent jump? It's incredible.

 

[Braulio]

Wonderful first minute and a half o the program

 

[Lanie]

I’ve been awake since 8 PM yesterday and I can’t focus on actually watching so thank God for FSU.

 

[Wyliefan]

She looks happy and relaxed, even with the headshake over that last jump. I'm really glad to see her enjoying this.

stupid loop #2

 

[tony]

Amber says take that, haterz. What a group.

3T looked short on the end of the combo, but not even up for review. She pretty much had her Olympic moment, thankfully.

 

[miffy]

Grrr I just knew that last jump wasn't going to be great. But it's her best skate of the Olympics by far so good for Amber

FS: 147.52 = 1st Place
Total: 214.91 = 1st Place

 

[JoannaLouise]

Aside from the hand down on the last 3lo, this was a good redemption skate for Amber. But I also wish that she hadn't needed a redemption skate in the first place.

 

[Colonel Green]

Triple loop, you traitor.

 

[Wyliefan]

THERE you go, Amber. Good job.

 

[Karen-W]

Sigh. Almost there and yet... 0 for 3 for clean skates at the Olympics. Still, she's done more than enough to take possession of the leader's chair going into the final two groups.

 

[Braulio]

YES! so sooo happy for Amber, no matter that mistake in one jump! she must feel proud today

 

[Private Citizen]

Another almost from Glenn. Will stay ahead of Shin on base value, but I preferred Shin on the second mark and don't think the gap will be that large.

 

[YourBorneo]

Ugh the emotional roller coaster that comes with rooting for Amber Glenn!

 

[tangerine dream]

Very happy for Amber, she deserves it!

 

[Angela-Fan]

Amber!!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

There have been some good skates so far. Everyone is assuming Glenn will move up, but she could drop -- potentially significantly -- if she's off.

I do not think she will be dropping.

 

[Lanie]

So glad it seems like Amber did well. I hope she’s happy with that and proud of herself. She has a lot to be proud of.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Amber decided that skating a clean program is beneath her

 

[Rob]

Well that was a nice Olympic moment for Amber. She had to make that one mistake but otherwise, that was a podium skate.

 

[itsartemis]

Such a shame about the mistakes in the short, because (apart from the loop) this was incredible!!

 

[annie_mg]

This was such a good group. I hope it doesn't mean the next groups will be a splatfest.

 

[Jay42]

So glad to see Amber have a nearly perfect program after the short. Definitely something for her to be proud of.

 

[Citlali]

Amber

WTF is going on with loop

 

[Sylvia]

NBC showed Amber's father applauding - think Dorothy Hamill was next to him.

 

[beckab81]

Nice skate from Amber - not perfect, but she committed to the performance at the end more than she often has. Great moment for her!

 

[tony]

"damn loop"
