Amber Glenn repeated as figure skating champion at nationals, narrowly defeating Alysa Liu by just over a point Friday night.
WICHITA, Kan. -- Amber Glenn defended her title as the U.S. Figure Skating Championships on Friday night, landing a massive triple axel early in the program and then watching in stressful anticipation as Alysa Liu came up just short of surpassing her.
Two-time champion Bradie Tennell, who was second after the short program, struggled in her free skate and was passed for third by Sarah Everhardt, an 18-year-old rising star from Haymarket, Virginia. Chock and Bates were not available after their performance because she was dealing with a food-related stomach bug.
The proscribed style for the rhythm dance this season is"social dances and styles of the 1950s, '60s and '70s," and while many teams chose to dance to Elvis Presley, Nancy Sinatra or disco, the avant-garde Chock and Bates chose to take their fans on a rollicking journey through all three decades of American popular culture.
