"Competition kicked off with the women's short program, where Glenn, performing her 'Like a Prayer' routine, successfully landed the triple jump that likely cost her an Olympic medal."
"Malinin, who finished in eighth place in Milan after a series of uncharacteristic stumbles, has his eye on a third straight world title."
"'It's great being able to go into the free skate not feeling like I'm clawing my way up through the ranks for once,' Glenn told U.S. Figure Skating."
"'But now I've realized that there's much more than just skating,' Malinin said."
The ISU Figure Skating World Championships are taking place in Prague, featuring competitions in women's, men's, pairs, and ice dance disciplines. This event serves as the last major competition of the 2025-2026 season, allowing athletes to seek titles and redemption post-Olympics. Notable withdrawals include Olympians like Alysa Liu, while competitors like Amber Glenn and Ilia Malinin aim for podium finishes. Glenn is currently in third place after a strong short program, while Malinin leads the men's competition with a personal best score, seeking to prove his Olympic performance was an anomaly.
