Amber Glenn withdrew from both of her fall Grand Prix Series figure skating events while she competes on “Dancing with the Stars.”
Glenn, a three-time U.S. champion who was fifth in her Olympic debut, was crossed out of the entry list Tuesday for NHK Trophy in Japan, which is two weeks from now, the last event of the six-event Grand Prix regular season.
Glenn previously withdrew from Saatva Skate America, which is this week in Everett, Washington.
The world’s top skaters can each compete twice over the Grand Prix regular season, with the top six per discipline qualifying for December’s Grand Prix Final, the second-biggest event this season behind March’s World Championships.
In 2024, Glenn won the Grand Prix Final, which at the time was the most prestigious international title for a U.S. women’s singles skater in 14 years.
Glenn has not ruled out competing later this season, including at the Prevagen U.S. Championships in January.
Her current streak of three national titles is the longest for a women’s singles skater since Michelle Kwan won all eight from 1998-2005.
Alysa Liu, the 2026 Olympic gold medalist and 2025 World champion, previously announced she is taking this season off.
Isabeau Levito, the 2024 World silver medalist who was 12th in her Olympic debut, is the top returning U.S. woman competing on the Grand Prix. She was third at Skate Canada in October and is entered in next week’s Grand Prix Finland.
