After the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, some young athletes stayed a couple of additional days for further development.

Figure skating coach Natalya Gudin spoke out after her husband and their students died in the American Airlines plane crash in Washington, D.C.

Amber Glenn, a 25-year-old from Plano who defended her U.S. figure skating championship last week in Wichita, was also among the community within the sport devastated by the news. “I’m in complete shock. I’m sorry I don’t even know what to say,” Glenn posted to Instagram on Thursday morning.
