Amber Glenn becomes first LGBTQ+ woman to win U.S. Women's Figure Skating Championship

BRIANNA MAC KAY   Columbus Dispatch

For the first time in her senior career, Amber Glenn is the U.S. women's figure skating champion.

Having finished on the podium multiple times at nationals in the past, including a third-place finish last year, her overall score of 210.46 was enough to finally get Glenn the gold. It was her sixth U.S. championship appearance.

Glenn's victory makes her the first openly LGBTQ+ skater to win the U.S. women's title.

"Being the first openly queer women's champion is incredible," Glenn said. "When I came out originally, I was terrified and I was scared it would affect my scores or something, but I didn't care. It was worth it to see, over the last couple of years, the amount of young people that feel more comfortable in their environments at the rink."
