Amber Glenn
United States Champion
Biography
Amber Glenn, a 25-year-old figure skater hailing from Plano, Texas, has been steadily rising in the world of figure skating. Amber proved herself to be one of the sport’s top stars in January 2024, where she clinched the coveted title of U.S. National Champion. This victory wasn't just a personal win, but a testament to her perseverance – Glenn was also the U.S. Junior Champion a decade ago in 2014. In the 2022-2023 season, she added a bronze medal at Skate America and another bronze at the U.S. Championships to her trophy collection, propelling her to her first World Championships appearance.
Beyond her athletic prowess, Glenn is a vocal advocate for mental health awareness. She openly shares her own experiences and uses her platform to inspire others. Another facet of Glenn's identity is her place within the LGBT community. As the first out LGBTQ+ woman to win the U.S. national title, she serves as a role model for young athletes who may have struggled to find relatable figures in the sport.
In 2024, Amber went on to win back-to-back Golds at the Grand Prix de France, Cup of China, and Grand Prix Final (first for an American woman since 2010), emerging as a strong favorite to podium at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Italy.
In 2025, Amber continued her momentum by winning her second National Championship and finishing fifth at the World Championships.
