Amber Glenn, the U.S. figure skating star, broke down in tears after a disappointing performance in her short program at the 2026 Winter Olympics held in Milan and Cortina. She fell short of her expected execution of a planned triple flip, which led to the element being deemed invalid. As a result, Glenn currently ranks 13th, significantly behind those competing for medals, making her path to clinching any medal highly unlikely.

The 26-year-old was considered one of the favorites for a medal at these games; however, this performance has greatly diminished her chances. As competitors prepare for the free skate portion of the competition, Glenn will need to overcome not only the technical errors she made but also the emotional disappointment of her performance. The future of her Olympic dream now largely depends on her ability to recover quickly and perform exceptionally in the upcoming events.
