Figure skater Amber Glenn’s disastrous mistake at the 2026 Olympics, which caused her to burst into tears, may NOT have been a personal error but rather due to this strange detail….

Figure skater Amber Glenn couldn’t hold back her tears after her devastating mistake landed her in 13th place in the Olympics 2026 women’s singles figure skating short program.

Cameras captured Glenn, 26, breaking down in an emotional moment after she failed to complete her triple toe loop and was docked in Tuesday’s event.

Glenn’s routine — which was set to Madonna’s “Like A Prayer” — started off well. She managed to land a difficult triple axel — making her only one of two women who completed the stunt along with Japan’s Ami Nakai.
