Figure skater Amber Glenn is deeply inspired by Alysa Liu’s historic gold medal win at the Milan 2026 Winter Olympics, vowing to adopt Liu’s ‘go with the flow’ yet disciplined attitude. Liu’s comeback victory, her first Olympic gold after a two-year retirement, propelled her from bronze to the top of the podium, making her the first American woman to win individual figure skating gold since 2002.
Despite Glenn’s own impressive recovery from 13th to fifth place and contributing to Team USA’s team gold, she acknowledges the mental fortitude that earned Liu her individual achievement and seeks to integrate a similar mindset into her own career for future success alongside Liu and Isabeau Levito in evolving the sport.
