Amber Glenn leads Grand Prix Final, eyes biggest figure skating title for U.S. woman in 14 years

Amber Glenn, a 24-year-old American figure skater, has taken the lead at the Grand Prix Final in Beijing, aiming to secure the biggest title for a U.S. woman in figure skating in 14 years. She scored 67.97 points in the short program, showcasing a triple axel and a triple lutz-triple toe loop combination, which put her ahead of competitors like Japan's Kaori Sakamoto and South Korea's Kim Chae-yeon. This performance marks a significant moment as Glenn, who has faced numerous challenges including injuries and mental health issues, looks to follow in the footsteps of the last American woman to win this title, Ashley Wagner in 2012. Her success in Beijing not only highlights her personal comeback but also signifies a potential resurgence for U.S. women's figure skating on the international stage.
