Queer Olympic figure skating gold medallist Amber Glenn is set to compete on the upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars, where she will be partnered with professional dancer Pasha Pashkov.

Glenn won gold for Team USA in the team figure skating event at the 2026 Winter Olympics alongside Alysia Liu, Ilia Malinin, Ellie Kam, Daniel O’Shea, Evan Bates and Madison Chock. The 26-year-old also finished fifth in the women’s individual competition.

The new season marks the first time Dancing With The Stars will feature both an Olympic gold medallist and a Paralympic gold medallist. Glenn is the fourth figure skater to compete on the programme.

Paralympic track and field athlete Ezra Frech will also join the cast. Frech, who won two gold medals at the 2024 Summer Paralympics, will compete alongside professional dancer Daniella Karagach.

Other celebrities taking part include actors Tatyana Ali, Jenna Dewan, Harry Shum Jr and Julia Stiles, chef Giada De Laurentiis and Hanson musician Taylor Hanson.

Reality television personalities Maura Higgins, Conner Leavitt, Ciara Miller, Sarah Jane Nader and Tyler Cameron will also compete, alongside baseball player Jackson Olson, Jimmy Kimmel Live! personality Guillermo Rodriguez and comedian Connor Wood.

Dancing With The Stars season 35 is scheduled to premiere on September 15.

Glenn became one of Team USA’s notable figures during the 2026 Winter Olympics. During the women’s individual event, she performed to Madonna’s “Like A Prayer”, after receiving a personal message from the singer ahead of her routine.
