After injuries and mental strife, Amber Glenn sets out to defend her US Figure Skating title
Associated PressWICHITA, Kan. — Amber Glenn has fought through so many injuries and mental roadblocks over the years that nobody would have thought less of her had she given up figure skating, the sport that has brought her so much stress yet so much joy. “And here I am now,” she said with a smile, “doing what I never thought I would be capable of.” With her confidence soaring, Glenn began this season by winning the lower-level Lombardia Trophy and then triumphed at the Cup of China and Grand Prix de France; the first Grand Prix wins of her career. At the Grand Prix Final in December, Glenn won both the short program and free skate to become the first American woman to win the event since Alissa Czisny stood upon the top step of the podium in 2010. They have the world’s top score this season of 219.85 points, which the 2022 Olympians set while winning their second consecutive Grand Prix Final.
