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.

I've lost track of all the articles, so I hope this piece by Amber's sister in Teen Vogue isn't a repeat:

My Sister Amber Glenn Is Facing Harassment While the World Watches

The Olympics took away Amber Glenn's joy. She found it in her final skate

MILAN — The Olympics took Amber Glenn's joy away. On Thursday night, she made herself find it.


"I told myself," Glenn said, "no matter what, in that spiral you're gonna look up, and you're gonna say, 'I'm at the Olympics.' And I was really proud I was able to do that."

The Olympics took away Amber Glenn's joy. She found it in her final skate — USA TODAY

"I'm a fighter, and I'm resilient," Amber Glenn said after her Olympics free skate. "You never know what's gonna happen. To be top five is incredible."

The Apple News link goes to a USA Today article titled The Olympics took away Amber Glenn's joy. She found it in her final skate by Payton Titus (Feb. 19) - excerpts (in case it's paywalled for some):

Her team event free skate was "lackluster" (Glenn's word). Her individual short program was "devastating." But her women's free skate. Oh, her women's free skate was magnificent.
"I'm a fighter, and I'm resilient," Glenn said. "And you never know what's gonna happen, because I never thought I'd even be here. And to be top five is incredible."
Glenn started the night 13th (67.39) and ended it two spots shy of a medal (214.91). Just like the end of her short program, Glenn clutched her chest, this time without any tears of anguish. Instead, a satisfied nod precipitated by passionate fist pumps and triumphant screams.
She opened the free skate with a pristine triple Axel met by raucous applause from inside the Milano Ice Skating Arena. Her music – "I Will Find You" by The Return – swelled as a soft, garnet-painted smile spread across her face. All eyes followed her navy blue silhouette gliding across the ice. Goosebumps enveloped every limb in the building but had nothing to do with the cold.

Glenn's immediate main takeaway from these Games, she said Thursday night, was the hope that "we can find a way to support our athletes" after seeing "some really disturbing things when it comes to all three of us (U.S. women's skaters)" online. It dimmed an experience Glenn dreamed about her whole life. She reiterated her commitment to speaking out Feb. 7 but announced she would limit her time on social media after receiving “a scary amount of hate/threats” for her comments. [...]
As a little girl, Glenn dreamed of twirling around the ice on one leg, the other in the air as she looked up and saw five rings overhead. "I’m at the Olympics,” she’d think to herself.
She’s been chasing that dream since she first started skating at 5 years old. A dream she feared slipped through her fingers. A dream realized Thursday night during her final skate of these Games.

I was happy to hear her determined to skate her short program well at Worlds.

I loved her LP, what a great skate

 

[Finnice]

I am happy for her. She is such a role model to many (young) people, not only LGBTQ+, but also an old CIS person like me. The threats and tries to silence her are terrible. See you at the Worlds, Amber!
