American figure skater Amber Glenn made an Instagram post literally minutes after her amazing free skate performance at the Winter Olympics.
Glenn got a poor score in her short program on Tuesday, finishing 13th, but she still qualified for the free skate, giving her a chance at redemption.
With the world watching, Glenn took her chance and ran, delivering a great performance that was the best out of the first two groups of skaters.
She was visibly emotional after the fact, though this time, they were mostly relief and pride over her bounce-back effort.

After she celebrated and awaited her score, Glenn posted a story on her Instagram account before she did her post-skate interview with NBC.
The post was a painting with the words “I have given my all” written on the image. The image perfectly captured her effort as she did indeed give it her all.
She scored a 147.52 in her free skate, giving her a total of 214.91 points on the day. She made one mistake,e putting a hand down on her final jump, a triple loop, but she did not fall and delivered a performance that was nearly perfect.

The highlight was a clean triple axel, something she did in her short program, and she became one of only a couple of women to land it.
What did Amber Glenn say after her performance?
She muttered the words “so close” after her program, though she was beaming during her post-skate interview.

“I made myself be happy about it,” Glenn said. “Deep down, of course, I know I could have done better, but I told myself enjoy it. I had my moment and my spiral, and told myself you just skated, stayed on your feet at the Olympics. I’m proud I had my moment.”
“That six-year-old girl who never thought I’d ever be here. I told myself to go out there, do your job, and I was working towards being able to have that [spiral] moment in the sequence. That was my reward. So it was chasing a goal.”
