Colorado to Italy: Figure skating pair from Colorado Springs help U.S. to Olympic gold in team competition

Amber Glenn, who has long trained in Colorado Springs, joined them in the team figure skating event that Team USA won by one point over Japan. The U.S. scored 69 points, Japan had 68 and Italy placed third with 60.
Kam and O’Shea earned 13 of those points, after placing fifth (six points) in qualifying Friday and fourth (seven points) in Sunday’s finals.
Glenn, making her Olympic debut, placed third in the women’s free skate final for eight points.
