Figure skater Amber Glenn breaks down in tears over devastating Olympics 2026 mistake

Figure skater Amber Glenn couldn’t hold back her tears after her devastating mistake landed her in 13th place in the Olympics 2026 women’s singles figure skating short program.

Cameras captured Glenn, 26, breaking down in an emotional moment after she failed to complete her triple toe loop and was docked in Tuesday’s event.

Glenn’s routine — which was set to Madonna’s “Like A Prayer” — started off well. She managed to land a difficult triple axel — making her only one of two women who completed the stunt along with Japan’s Ami Nakai.

But the move couldn’t make up for the 0 points she scored in her mistake on the triple loop. She was awarded a 67.39 — putting her more than 10 points behind leader Nakai.

Glenn, a top gold medal contender and 1/3 of the U.S.’s “Blade Angels” trio, looked defeated as she skated off the ice.

“I had it,” Glenn was then seen telling her coach Damon Allen after the skate, per the Dallas Observer.

“It’s not over,” Allen replied.
