"I watched it at the Olympics. I want Yuri Heated Rivalry! Ask me, hire me. I can fall in love with my co-star please! She said to the camera, reaching out to the show's creator Jacob Tierney, expressing her enthusiasm for a potential spin-off series centered on queer women in ice hockey."
"I was able to feel like I wasn't being pressured into trying to fill someone else's shoes. Glenn explained how being open about her sexuality helped her on the rink, describing how coming out as pansexual in 2019 helped her feel set free and contributed to her athletic success."
Amber Glenn, a 26-year-old pansexual American figure skater and history-making Olympic athlete, appeared at the GLAAD Awards expressing enthusiasm about the queer series Heated Rivalry. She watched the show during the 2026 Winter Olympics and publicly called for a spin-off series centered on queer women in ice hockey, using the term "Yuri Heated Rivalry." Glenn eagerly volunteered to appear in season two or star in such a spin-off. Her interest aligns with the show's precedent of featuring real-life queer athletes, as Harrison Browne, the first out trans athlete in professional American hockey, made a guest appearance in season one. Glenn came out as pansexual in 2019, crediting her openness about sexuality with helping her athletic performance.
