U.S. Women’s Figure Skating Champion Amber Glenn COY COVINGTON | Contributing Writer Reporting from Bell Centre, Montreal Making it here to Montreal to compete at the World Figure Skating Championships hasn’t been an easy street for openly queer U.S.
National Women’s Champion Amber Glenn. In fact, it’s been a pretty rocky road overall. Ten years ago, at the tender age of 14, Glenn won the U.S.
National Junior title and was considered to be the next big thing. Interestingly, Glenn’s future training mate, Ashley Cain, won silver just behind her in 2014.
Cain would go on to win two Senior National titles of her own in the Pairs event along with partner, Timothy LeDuc. But Glenn’s winning streak came to a shrieking halt.
