Planoite Amber Glenn, a recent Olympic gold-medal figure skater, will be honored by the City of Plano with a public reception and proclamation ceremony on Thursday, May 28.
Glenn won a gold medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan in the team skating competition and finished in fifth overall.
Glenn began skating at age 5 and won a Junior National Championship and three consecutive Senior U.S. National Championships, before her recent Olympic debut.
Though only 26, Glenn was the oldest American woman in nearly a century to compete in Olympic figure skating and the oldest Olympian to successfully land a triple axel, according to a news release.
“Amber Glenn’s story is one of determination, resilience and heart,” said Plano Mayor John Muns. “Plano is proud to celebrate not only her achievements on the world stage, but also the example she sets for young athletes and our entire community.”
The ceremony is open to the public and will take place at the Florence Shapiro Council Chambers at Plano Municipal Center, 1520 K Avenue, from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
