US Figure Skaters Look to Bounce Back at World Championships in Prague

Friday, March 27, 2026 at 9:06 AM

American figure skaters Amber Glenn and Ilia Malinin are competing for medals at the World Figure Skating Championships in Prague this week. Both athletes are hoping to redeem themselves after underwhelming performances at last month's Olympics.

Two American figure skaters are positioned to capture medals at the World Figure Skating Championships taking place in Prague, offering them a chance to make up for lackluster Olympic showings just weeks ago.

The international competition, which concludes this Saturday, features Americans Amber Glenn and Ilia Malinin both in contention for podium finishes after their disappointing results at the recent Winter Olympics.

Glenn delivered a strong performance during Wednesday’s women’s short program, putting herself in medal contention as the championships progress toward their weekend conclusion.

The Prague competition represents an opportunity for both skaters to demonstrate their capabilities on the world stage following their Olympic setbacks, with the championships serving as a key redemption moment for the American figure skating program.
