Amber Glenn nearly nailed her short program to begin the individual women’s figure skating competition at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
But one bad pass was all it took for the Team USA star to have her score greatly impacted.
Now, Glenn has some work to do.
The free skate is on Thursday, and Glenn is sitting in 13th place with a 67.39 from the opening round.
That score will combine with her free skate to give a total score toward medal contention.
Glenn is an underdog, but she’s not out of it entirely.
