The U.S. Figure Skating Championships are underway in St. Louis, the final stop before the Olympic team is announced.

Amber Glenn, a 26-year-old from Plano, is considered a front-runner to make Team USA. Though she now trains far from North Texas, at the StarCenter in Euless, she remains close to home in spirit.

Cami Lohmar, 10, who’s been figure skating since she was 5, wore a sweatshirt from Glenn’s clothing line during practice Wednesday. The design read “Believe and Breathe.”

“The two words really go together when you’re skating because you need to believe you can do it and you need to breathe so you’re calm when you’re going into it,” Lohmar said.

Glenn is known for her artistic style and perseverance. She’s become one of the most recognized names in U.S. women’s singles skating.

This week, the two-time reigning national champion team member is competing for another U.S. title and a shot at her Olympic dream.

“I trained with her for many years. She’s well deserving of a spot on this Olympic team,” said Ashley Cain, Glenn’s former training partner.

At Nationals in 2022, Glenn withdrew from competition after her short program due to a positive COVID-19 test.

“That dream that I had of making the team just slipped through my fingers,” Glenn told NBC 5 at the time.

Cain went on to compete in the Beijing Olympics. This weekend, she’ll serve on the committee that selects pairs for the Milano Cortina Games.

“It’s really exciting. It’s my first time being in that room. The fact that I was the one competing four years ago and now I get to do the selecting is really pretty surreal,” Cain said.

Cain said Glenn’s performances over the past two years, including her signature triple axel, first landed in Euless five years ago, put her in a strong position to make the team.

“I think that she wants to prove to herself, that young girl that started this sport many, many years ago, that she is as amazing as she is, and I hope that she gets to have that moment this weekend,” Cain said.

Glenn is scheduled to skate her short program on Wednesday night on Peacock. Her long program airs Friday on NBC 5. The Olympic team announcement is expected on Sunday.
