World Champs Chock and Bates Dazzle with Lenny Kravitz-Inspired Dance, Lead U.S. Championships

Amber Glenn leads the short program at U.S. Figure Skating Championships, strengthening her bid for another national title and an Olympic team spot, officials said.

  • Wednesday, Amber Glenn, 26, from Plano landed a triple axel and set a U.S. short-program record of 83.05 points at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in St. Louis, skating on Peacock.
  • Training at the StarCenter in Euless, Glenn, who withdrew from Nationals 2022 after a positive COVID-19 test, maintains North Texas ties, including a fan wearing her 'Believe and Breathe' design.
  • The top three U.S. women delivered consecutive near-flawless short programs, with Isabeau Levito, 18, finishing third at 75.72 points and Alysa Liu watching from near the ice.
  • Glenn's long program airs Friday on NBC 5, the first medals will be handed out Friday night, and the Olympic team announcement is expected Sunday while she serves on the pairs-selection committee this weekend.
  • Stellar opening-night skating suggests U.S. women's skating looks unusually strong for the 2026 Winter Olympics, with commentators urging fans to know Amber Glenn, Alysa Liu and Isabeau Levito.
