Amber Glenn Wins First Grand Prix Title

Amber Glenn achieved a historic milestone by becoming the oldest U.S. women's singles skater to win her first Grand Prix title at the Grand Prix de France, scoring 210.44 points overall. She opened the competition with a record-breaking short program score of 78.14, surpassing the previous U.S. record of 76.43 set by Gracie Gold in 2016. Glenn demonstrated exceptional skill, landing the only triple Axel in the women's event, but faced challenges in the free skate, including multiple jumping errors. Despite these setbacks, she maintained a lead of 4.32 points over Japan's Wakaba Higuchi, who finished second. Glenn's victory marks a significant comeback after overcoming serious injuries in recent years, showcasing her resilience and dedication to the sport. This win positions Glenn as a strong contender in the ongoing figure skating season, following her success at the Lombardia Trophy earlier this year.
