Amber Glenn is someone who always shares what is on her mind, regardless of what others might think.
The national champion figure skater spent a good amount of her time at the Winter Olympic Games opening up trading card packs in her apartment to the delight of her fans.
When she made a crucial blunder in the women's individual competition, instead of shying away from her emotions, she let them all pour out. And then, when faced with the backlash, she made jokes about it, accepting everything that comes her way.

Glenn is always pushing the boundaries of figure skating and how it can evolve, and she believes something is missing to take her sport to the next level.
She wants figure skating to have its own "Heated Rivalry"-style television series.
And she's already volunteered to star in it as one of the leads.

Access Hollywood caught up with Glenn and asked her if she saw the hockey drama that took over the internet in 2026.
"I watched it at the Olympics," Glenn answered at the GLAAD Media Awards. “I want yuri ‘Heated Rivalry,’ please! Hire me. I can fall in love with my co-star, please.”
"Heated Rivalry" is a show between two male hockey prodigies who fall in love over the course of many seasons playing against each other in North America. Glenn, wanting a "yuri" version, envisions two women as the leads in their own figure skating drama, where the two main characters fall for one another.
Glenn is the first openly queer woman to compete for Team USA in figure skating at the Winter Olympics. She won a gold medal in the team competition alongside the likes of Alysa Liu and Ilia Malinin, kicking off the two-week spectacle.
Although Glenn might already be fielding calls for her show proposal, she will first have to face off with some rivals of her own at the end of March in Prague for the annual Figure Skating World Championships.
