MILAN —The medal wasn't what Amber Glenn wanted. Glenn instead wanted Liu to enjoy her own moment after the 20-year-old from Oakland was third entering Thursday's free skate. The difference could be equivalent to the base value of one triple jump. While the free skate is more forgiving, the short program has seven specific requirements, including three for jumps. There has to be a jump combination that consists of a double jump and a triple jump or two triple jumps.
