- On Feb. 19, 2026, Amber Glenn posted a season-best 147.52 in the women's free skate, boosting her total to 214.91 at the Milan Cortina Olympics.
- After a Tuesday short program marred by a bailed triple loop, Glenn sat in 13th place but returned two days later for the Olympic long program, creating a redemption moment.
- Technically, Glenn produced a near‑flawless series that included opening with a triple Axel, a 13.98 sequence score, and a program components score 68.65 despite one slip.
- Glenn briefly sat atop the leaderboard in the leader's chair for about 90 minutes before Alysa Liu, Kaori Sakamoto, Ami Nakai and Mone Chiba overtook her, finishing fifth, then celebrated Liu's gold.
- Glenn, aiming to recapture joy before her free skate, said, `I didn't want to be on this Earth anymore`, reflecting her past struggles and long career arc.
