Glenn defends US national title as Liu falters lateChock and Bates take big lead after rhythm dance
Amber Glenn defended her title as the US 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.
Glenn scored 216.79 points while Liu, the two-time national champ in the midst of a comeback from a two-year retirement, had 215.33 points – the difference just may have been a mistake that Liu made on the final spin of her free skate.
