With this win, Amber Glenn strengthened her position as the leader of the US women’s skating ahead of the Winter Games.
Her latest triumph places her in elite company. No American woman had achieved three consecutive national titles since Michelle Kwan nearly two decades ago. Glenn’s consistency now defines the current era of US figure skating.
Who is Amber Glenn?
Amber Glenn is one of the most resilient figures in US figure skating. She built her career through persistence, technical growth, and mental toughness. Known for her aggressive skating style, Glenn stands out for consistently landing the triple axel, one of the sport’s most difficult jumps.
Over the years, she transformed from a talented contender into a championship mainstay. At 26, Glenn combines experience with peak performance. Her latest title reflects years of refinement rather than a sudden breakthrough.
How Amber Glenn Won the 2026 US Title?
Amber Glenn delivered a composed free skate when it mattered most. She opened her program with a clean triple axel, instantly setting the tone. Her total score reached 233.55 points, the highest of the competition. The routine stayed sharp throughout, with clean landings and strong spins.
“I felt like I was going to throw up,” Glenn said. “Fake it ’till you make it. I took that to heart.” Her reaction said it all. Relief. Pride. Validation.
Alysa Liu and Isabeau Levito Complete the Podium
Alysa Liu finished second with 228.91 points. She skated freely and confidently, cheering Glenn on despite narrowly missing gold. Her performance kept her firmly in the Olympic conversation.
Isabeau Levito secured bronze with 224.45 points, marking a personal best. Her elegant skate strengthened her case for selection to the US team for the Winter Games. Together, the trio highlighted the depth and balance of American women’s skating heading into an Olympic year.
