Amber Glenn’s Arduous Path to the Olympics Turned Her Into a Trailblazer​

The 26-year-old star will be the the oldest figure skater to compete in singles skating at the Winter Games. But the experience she gained along the way could make all the difference.

 
Choreographer Katherine Hill:

In case you missed seeing this very special Blade Angels promo in the U.S. Women’s news thread yesterday:
 
I am heartbroken for Amber Glenn.

I don't think anyone other than Olympic athletes can comprehend the intensity of skating at this level. I feel for her especially because there's so much media/social media glare on her - she's not just the triple axel woman, she's the LGTBQ+ standard bearer. The advocate for mental health. It's so freakin' much.

I hope she knows how much she is loved and admired. Not for winning. Though I'd love to see her win and skate great. But for going for it. For representing the US. For putting everything on the line.

I was devastated for her. The look of utter defeat on her face was so painful to watch. So, so close... and then she muffs the easiest jump in her program. Heartbreaking.
 
Actually the triple loop has given Amber problems off and on for a while now :(. Her 3A is more consistent in competition, IMO.
