Don’t expect to see U.S. Winter Olympic champion Amber Glenn in the White House anytime soon.

The figure skater, who won gold in the team event at the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, said she will not celebrate with current President Donald Trump, echoing the stance of the champion United States women’s hockey team, which declined an invitation after controversy erupted over Trump’s attack on them.

“I choose not to do it either, so I don’t blame them at all,” Glenn told Us Weekly at the GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday.

“It is our right to be able to choose what we do and what we do not support, and I believe that it is a decision that each individual has the right to make,” he added.

Glenn, who in Italy became the first openly queer woman to represent the United States in Olympic figure skating, during a press conference criticized Trump’s treatment of the LGBTQ+ community, saying it had been “a difficult moment.”

The athlete, who identifies as pansexual and bisexual, later said she had received a “scary amount of hate/threats” following the comments.

She wrote online: “When I chose to use one of the amazing things about the United States of America (freedom of speech) to convey how I feel as an athlete competing for Team USA in a troubling time for many Americans, I now receive a terrifying amount of hate and threats for simply using my voice WHEN ASKED how I feel.”
