Hello, fans! 🙋‍♀️ Today we have two surprising stories that are just as dazzling as the elegance on the ice. One is the viral twist from Glenn on the dance floor, and the other is Lee Hae-in's renewed challenge.

💪 Why Glenn Is Drawing Attention Off the Ice

Amber Glenn, the team figure skating gold medalist at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, sparked buzz with a powerful performance on a popular American dance show ^[1]. She is competing on ABC's Dancing with the Stars Season 35, partnered with pro dancer Pasha Pashkov. On the Disney Night broadcast on the 2nd, she performed a quickstep to A Star Is Born from the movie Hercules ^[1].

While moving through fast steps, she flexed both arms, and when she repeated the same pose at the finish, the audience erupted in cheers 🔥 Her well-defined shoulder and arm lines caught everyone's eye. Glenn has spent years training her body to land difficult jumps and spins, and this performance put that physical strength to excellent use on stage ^[1].

Fans overseas responded enthusiastically. Comments like 'Wow, really?', 'Amazing', and 'I think I'm going to faint' poured in, and we totally get why the scene might stay in people's minds for a while 😆 Pashkov also shared photos and videos of the two together on social media ^[1].

Glenn is currently one of the top stars representing American women's figure skating. She won the U.S. Championships women's singles title three years in a row, from 2024 to 2026, and also claimed the top spot at the 2024 Grand Prix Final ^[1]. At the Olympics, she helped the U.S. win team gold and finished fifth in the women's singles event ^[1].

Her behavior away from the competition was heartwarming too. When Japan's Kaori Sakamoto was in tears after the women's singles event, cameramen moved in close, but Glenn stepped in to hold them back and asked them to refrain from filming, showing care for Sakamoto. Reports say this scene left a good impression on Japanese fans too ^[1].

✨ Lee Hae-in Is Ready to Take Flight Again!

Lee Hae-in, the leading face of Korean women's figure skating, will compete in her first Grand Prix event of the season this week. The event is Grand Prix Series Event 3 in China, and her newly planned Triple Axel is the biggest focus ^[2]. It is a demanding jump with three and a half rotations!

At a Challenger event in September, Lee was amazed after landing a Triple Axel. It was not perfect, but it was her first successful landing in an official competition ^[2]. Since this was her comeback after five years, the joy must have been even greater 🥲

Her motivation for trying again came from her first Winter Olympics appearance in February. Lee said it still hasn't sunk in that she went to the Olympics, and that it gave her one more reason to move forward ^[2].

Lee went through a long slump after winning silver at the World Championships and gold at the Four Continents Championships in 2023. During that time, she enjoyed dance and art, and more recently took up reading and writing as hobbies to get through the demanding training 📚 She says she has become stronger in both body and mind ^[2].

Her words, 'I hope to feel as much gratitude as possible and work toward the things I want to achieve in life,' were also memorable. And when she said, 'Just as I brought many people tears of happiness, I hope to shed tears of joy this time,' our hearts were filled with support 💙

📌 One-Line Summary

Glenn showed off her physical strength on stage, and Lee Hae-in will mark a fresh start with her Triple Axel in China this week. We can't wait to see what emotions these two athletes bring to the ice next! 🎉
