To put it best, Amber Glenn’s Milan run has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, and she delivered another stunner recently.

With a strong start in the Milano Cortina 2026, Glenn helped Team USA capture the gold medal in the group event on February 8. However, she lost her chance to win an individual medal in the short program, ranking 13^th. Despite the flawless triple axel in the beginning, Glenn bailed on the triple loop jump.

Still, she qualified for the exhibition gala on 19, where she displayed her mettle once more. The 26-year-old delivered an iconic performance in Lady Gaga's That's Life.

Besides her stunning performance on That's Life, Glenn made history by being the oldest woman figure skater to compete in the Winter Games in the last 98 years. But the gold medalist also revealed something not-so-positive during her Olympics campaign.

While talking to US Figure Skating on February 19, Glenn said, "I am grateful that my body has held up for this long. I will reevaluate after the season's over and see how I'm doing physically, mentally."

She added, "I am not opposed to doing a one last season hoorah, just for fun and seeing, 'Hey, let's see if I can do a quad, see what features I can go for."

She ranked 5^th overall with the third-highest score (147.52) of the night, a brilliant run tailing a probable end, and also hinting at a sideline presence next.

Amber Glenn Will Support Teammates in Future

Glenn, who earned the “mom of the group” title, has embodied it in full scale. While she’s sure about her body not being able to hold up to compete in the next 4 years, she knows what her next role will be.

“Isabeau and Alysa are so young. They have many more years in figure skating if they choose to keep going”, Glenn said. “But I don’t know how long I have left, and so I’ll be kind of helping on the sidelines.”

She highlighted her pride in Liu, the 20-year-old who won an individual gold. While also expressing a wish to create a safe space for “people that are young, like Isabeau”.

“And I’m just really proud and happy of the legacy that they’re leaving on this sport, which is, especially for Alysa, her story of taking a step back… I really hope that we can work towards having a safer place for athletes, especially people that are young like Isabeau…” she added.

Be it a gold medalist on the ice or a great support system on the sidelines, Glenn remains a champion at heart. Would you agree? Comment your thoughts.
