NJ 15-year-old Isabeau Levito wins US figure skating title
Graceful, gutsy and seemingly unfazed by the bright lights, 15-year-old Isabeau Levito decided to go for it in her free skate while reminding herself once more to just stay calm.
"I was just very proud of myself for having collected myself and done the program that I needed to do," Levito said. "Going into this event my entire goal truly for almost even both programs was to stay composed and really try to suppress my nerves as much as possible, to really not let little, minor, silly mistakes happen."
"I didn't think I was going to be able to do this again," Tennell said, calling this her most special nationals yet and noting she absolutely plans to go for it this next Olympic cycle. Amber Glenn finished third at 207.44. She delivered an impressive 138.48 free skate that moved her into the lead with the top three skaters from the short program remaining.
Glenn came into Friday fourth after her 68.96 in the short program. The 2021 U.S. silver medalist was forced to withdraw from last year's event following a positive COVID-19 test. Levito, the reigning junior world champion who took third place in her senior nationals debut last year, entered as the favorite to win her first U.S. title. She earned silver at both Grand Prix assignments and the Grand Prix Final last month.
