Amber Glenn skated to “Like a Prayer” during Tuesday’s short program. Now she’s in serious need of one herself.
One of the U.S.’s “Blade Angels,” Glenn was left in tears following a massive error in her skate — she landed a double loop instead of a triple — that left her in 13th place with just the free skate to go.

Haha. I was rooting for her to lose.
I watched this live and don’t like this girl but it was tough watching how upset she was...then i noticed she had a fag pin on her USA jacket and didn’t feel that bad for her...
loop is different from the axel....i believe the triple loop is a required element and when she only did a double she got zero points...
I needed a second box of tissues.....
I don’t feel bad rooting for any country other than my own to win when idiots like this are involved.
awww…
too bad 😢
I guess that folks in New York know a whole lot more
about ice skating than folks in Georgia do!

If you ever need to know more about humidity, mosquitos
or water moccasins, I’m your go-to-guy!
Clever.
There’s no “Trump curse”, Trump’s a blessing for our side.
“The Trump Curse prevails yet again”
For sure.
i can’t believe her esotropia wasn’t surgically corrected shortly after birth ...
Karma is a bitch.
It’s a man!
Her hairdresser was busy with the curling competition.
I’ve never heard of the Trump Curse.
I applaud when a leftist fails.
I applaud when a leftist receives pain.
I applaud when a leftist mourns.
More please, much more. /spit
“That’s what you get sister for spitting on your country.”
No one learned from Lindsey Vonn. The Trump curse is true and when you play FAFO, you really FO.
