Amber Glenn, a figure skater from Plano, made her Olympic debut at the 2026 Winter Olympics on Feb. 8, finishing third in the women’s free program and helping Team USA take gold in the team event.<\/p>\n

Glenn, a three-time national champion, had a shaky Olympic start, telling the press<\/a> she didn\u2019t know if she “could have felt worse out there” in her free skate.<\/p>\n

The women’s short begins at 11:45 a.m., but Glenn is way down on the start list (28\/29), so it’ll be a while before she takes the ice. Glenn will be in search of a qualifying spot in the women’s single free skate, along with teammates Alyssa Liu and Isabeau Levito.<\/p>\n

\"play\"\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The 26-year-old competes in the Winter Games as\u00a0the three-time reigning U.S. figure skating champion<\/a>. Her latest national title triumph saw her\u00a0post a record-breaking\u00a0<\/a>short program score, as well as\u00a0personal-best marks<\/a>\u00a0in the free skate and the\u00a0overall score.<\/p>\n

You can stream her performance\u00a0here<\/a> or watch it on Peacock.<\/p>\n

If she qualifies, she’ll compete in the women’s free on Feb. 19 at noon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amber Glenn, a figure skater from Plano, made her Olympic debut at the 2026 Winter Olympics on Feb.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":167361,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[48241,50630,160,162,161],"class_list":{"0":"post-167360","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-plano","8":"tag-2026-milan-cortina-olympics","9":"tag-figure-skating","10":"tag-plano","11":"tag-plano-headlines","12":"tag-plano-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=167360"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167360\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/167361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=167360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=167360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=167360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
