PASADENA, TEXAS (January 2, 2026) Amber Glenn has become one of the most exciting U.S. figure skaters today. Born on October 28, 1999, in Plano, Texas and training with the Dallas Figure Skating Club, she started skating when she was just five years old. Now 26, she has worked hard for years and is finally getting huge wins on the ice.
Glenn is a two-time U.S. national champion, winning in 2024 and 2025. She also made history by winning the 2024-25 Grand Prix Final, the first American woman to win it in nearly 15 years,
One reason fans love Amber is that she can land very hard jumps. She is one of the few women in the world to land a clean Triple Axel in big competition.
At the 2025 World Championships, Glenn skated strong and finished fifth overall; her best result at that event. Her performances helped the U.S. earn three spots for women at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
She, along with other skaters will compete in the 2026 Prevagen U.S. Figure skating Championships on January 4-11, 2026 in St. Louis, Missouri. The U.S. Championships also will serve as the final qualifying event prior to the selection of the U.S. Olympic Figure Skating Team that will represent Team USA at the Olympic Winter Games Milano-Cortina.
