Love is blossoming at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Nearly a week after skier Breezy Johnson got engaged on the slopes following the women’s super-G, two additional Team USA athletes have announced their plans to marry. Hilary Knight, a forward for the women’s ice hockey team, proposed to her girlfriend, speedskater Brittany Bowe, and she accepted.
The Olympics serves as a fitting backdrop for Knight and Bowe’s engagement. The two developed a close bond during the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, enjoying long evening walks to escape the pressures of competition.
Knight, along with the rest of Team USA’s women’s ice hockey team, will compete against Team Canada for the gold medal on Thursday at 1:10 p.m. ET. Bowe, a two-time bronze medalist in speedskating, secured fourth place in both the 1,000m and the team pursuit this year.
