Madonna Sends Good Luck Message to American Figure Skater Amber Glenn at Olympics

  • On Tuesday, Amber Glenn returned to Olympic ice to perform in the women's singles short program, the 26-year-old three-time U.S. national champion with a Milan Cortina Games team gold.
  • Having secured her Olympic spot in January, she earned her berth after winning the 2025 Grand Prix Final and a strong January showing that punched her ticket, following treatment and a comeback.
  • Music-Rights disputes at the Games left several skaters scrambling, and Seb McKinnon said Glenn lacked permission for one track before they smoothed matters by phone.
  • Her Olympic bid also presents a chance to break a 20-year U.S. women's singles medal drought, as she is the first openly queer woman on a U.S. Olympic singles team and the oldest since 1928.
  • Using her platform, Glenn says she will advocate for LGBTQ+ community and mental health after describing `I didn't want to be on this Earth anymore`, emphasizing sports psychology and neurofeedback.
