Amber Glenn, a figure skater from Plano, Texas, is competing in the women's short program at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy. Glenn, a three-time U.S. national champion, is looking to qualify for the women's free skate event after a shaky start to the Olympics.
Why it matters
Glenn is one of the top American figure skaters and a medal contender at these Winter Games. Her performance in the short program will determine if she advances to the free skate, which is the final event to determine the Olympic medalists in women's figure skating.
The details
Glenn, 26, is way down on the start list for the women's short program, which begins at 11:45 a.m. local time. She will be competing against teammates Alyssa Liu and Isabeau Levito for a spot in the free skate. Glenn had a disappointing start to the Olympics, telling reporters she didn't know if she "could have felt worse out there" during her free skate performance.
- The women's short program begins at 11:45 a.m. on February 16, 2026.
- The women's free skate is scheduled for February 19, 2026 at 12:00 p.m.
