A popular theory is people have two types of personalities: Type A or Type B.
Type A people are driven, competitive multi-taskers who manage their time to best achieve goals. Type B are relaxed, patient and care-free people who don’t get rattled and do things at their own pace.
On the U.S. figure skating team, it's Type A Amber Glenn and Type B Alysa Liu. So, what do you get when you mix the two? A dynamic, powerhouse duo.
“It's Type A, Type B people side-by-side, and having a little bit of both usually ends up being a perfect match,” Glenn said.
After an impressive 2025, Glenn and Liu head into the 2026 U.S. figure skating championships this week looking for that final boost of momentum to take into the 2026 Winter Olympics. With that, they can lead Team USA into Milano Cortina poised to break the American hardware drought.
