Glenn on course for Olympic berth at US Figure Skating championshipsLOS ANGELES, United States, Jan 8, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Amber Glenn upstaged world champion Alysa Liu with a record score to take the lead after the women's short program at the US Figure Skating Championships in St Louis on Wednesday. The 26-year-old two-time US champion leads world champion Liu, on 81.11, with Isabeau Levito in third. Glenn said her performance had been inspired by the memory of her grandmother Barbara, who passed away in February last year. "For some reason I just felt my grandma with me today, and that meant a lot," Glenn said. While Efimova and Mitrofanov look poised to retain their US crown, the duo are sweating on their eligibility for a place at the Olympics.
