 Come With Me - Amber Glenn Recreates the Jump That Cost Her an Olympic Medal


The fall did not define her, and neither did the score.


Just days after a costly mistake in the women’s final at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Amber Glenn stepped back onto the ice, camera in hand, ready to face the moment head on.


During her short program on Feb. 17, the 26 year old American skater struggled with a required triple axel and popped out of a triple toe loop. 


The slip proved expensive. She earned a 67.39, more than 11 points behind the leader, and her medal hopes took a serious hit.


But Glenn did not retreat. Instead, she opened TikTok.


“Come with me to do the jump that cost me an Olympic medal,” she told followers in a video posted Feb. 20. 


Inside an empty rink, she pushed off, gathered speed, and launched. Within seconds, she landed the triple axel cleanly. 


She turned to the camera with a wry smile. “Yeah, okay. That’s fine. I’m fine. I’m fine. Everything’s fine.”


The humor was light, but fans could hear the weight beneath it. Comments poured in with encouragement. 


One user reminded her, “On a bad day you’re 5th in the entire world. That alone is an astronomical achievement.” Another pointed out her climb in the rankings, praising her resilience.


Earlier in the week, Glenn had already poked fun at herself. In another TikTok clip, she celebrated landing her highest scoring triple axel, only to cut to the reality of the invalidated final jump. The caption carried the punchline.


Then came the free skate. On Feb. 19, Glenn delivered a near flawless performance, earning a 147.52. It was strong, controlled, and redemptive. 


When the final standings were announced, she placed fifth overall. Her teammate Alysa Liu captured gold, while Japan’s Kaori Sakamoto and Ami Nakai took silver and bronze.


Glenn kept her tone candid online. “I’m coping well thanks for asking,” she wrote with a playful emoji. 


On Instagram Stories, she added a more reflective note, “The world has ended for me many times and yet tomorrow still comes. Keep going.”


It is a message that feels bigger than one competition. On the Olympic stage, where fractions of a point can change everything, Glenn chose to show not just her talent, but her grit. The jump may have slipped away in competition, but her fight did not.
