Figure Skater Amber Glenn Opens up About Mental Health and Coming Out
Amber Glenn, the first openly queer U.S. women's champion, advocates mental health openness and uses her mantra to inspire younger skaters amid Olympic team selection.
- At the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in St. Louis, Amber Glenn is competing in the women's event, the final competition before the U.S. Olympic team selection for Milan-Cortina, aiming for a third consecutive gold.
- Underpinning her return, pressure as a teenager led to depression and prompted Glenn to step away, and after returning she became a vocal mental-health advocate.
- Using her personal mantra, `believe and breathe`, Glenn skates to Madonna's 'Like a Prayer' as an homage.
- Noting audience pride flags, Glenn says she celebrates her identity publicly and hopes it encourages others to embrace theirs.
- After past setbacks, including being a 2022 Winter Olympics alternate who withdrew due to illness, Amber Glenn says she is ready and focused to represent the U.S. at the Milan-Cortina Olympics.
