Amber Glenn, the 2026 Olympic team gold medallist and three-time U.S. national champion, is a celebrity contestant on Dancing with the Stars season 35 paired with professional dancer Pasha Pashkov. Glenn and Pashkov debuted during the two-night premiere in September with a cha-cha to Santana featuring Rob Thomas that earned 18 points from judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli. ABC listed the couple among the 14 pairs returning for Week 2, when they were scheduled to perform a tango to "All the Things She Said" during the "Viral Hits Night" episode that aired September 22, 2026. ABC’s press biography identifies Glenn as the first openly LGBTQ+ U.S. women’s figure skating champion and notes she is one of the few women to land a triple axel in competition. Glenn told U.S. Figure Skating she took the invitation despite overlap with the skating calendar and intends to continue training and compete in the second half of the season. Her participation creates a clear Olympic-sport connection for the cast alongside Paralympic gold medallist Ezra Frech and could force careful travel, rehearsal and competition planning as the 2026, 27 Grand Prix schedule progresses. The show’s outcome will combine judges’ scores with viewer voting to determine advancement toward the Mirrorball Trophy.
