@rockerskating Yep, she was proud enough of this to share it in her IG stories, and it's definitely a worthy accomplishment to end this roller coaster of a season she's had!
@dukebaby401@rockerskating Sadly, the judges are only interested in what happens on ice during the competition, so we end up with abuse apologists as ice dance champs. Just how it is, unfortunately.
Amber GLENN 🇺🇸 130.47 / 203.12
“It sucks. What else can I say. I lost focus.
Thanks for all the support and love to all my fans. Thanks to the whole audience for your support. That was very sweet.”

@AmberGlenn_ Well said! We love you, Amber, and even though you struggled tonight, you’re still great! And you’re still a Team Event gold medalist! Stay strong, Amber!
Thank you everyone for the love and support🤍 I'm okay! If anything I'm mentally, emotionally, physically exhausted after a season of extreme highs and lows.
I did what I set out to do 6 years ago.
Land a Triple axel and go to the Olympics and nothing will take that away from me

@SummertimeX5@rockerskating Heck yes! She won't win the short thanks to Kaori and Mone, but I'll take it! Here's hoping for a clean free skate and a medal!

@rockerskating Won't make the FS, but she should be happy not only to be back competing at her first Worlds in a whole decade, but to make it through her program without falling. Way to go, Niki!
