Well into its second week, the Winter Olympics<\/a> have proved to be quite eventful \u2014 at least romantically speaking. There was a reported condom<\/a> shortage. Lindsay Vonn\u2019s heartbreaking crash<\/a> had a silver lining in the form of seven hot Italian doctors<\/a>. And then there was this guy<\/a>, who reasoned a live spot on television would be the perfect time to announce his infidelity to the world. Thankfully, the Games have mostly served as a worldwide stage for romance to thrive. Days after skier Breezy Johnson<\/a> got engaged on the slopes, news of yet another Olympian betrothal has emerged: Hilary Knight, the captain of Team USA\u2019s women\u2019s ice-hockey team, and speed skater Brittany Bowe got engaged too.<\/p>\n

In a joint Instagram post, the women shared<\/a> a video in which Knight got down on one knee and popped the question to Bowe. Decked out in Team USA garb, Knight then picked up Bowe as she showed off her new ring. \u201cOlympics brought us together,\u201d they wrote in the caption. \u201cThis one made us forever.\u201d And as Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon astutely observed in the comments: \u201cI am also OBSESSED with how gay it is to propose in sweats. I LOVE YOU GIRLS!\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, the women did know each other casually within the context of their sports for years, but didn\u2019t get close until the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing<\/a>. Knight told Olympics.com<\/a> that the pair killed time in between events by going on lengthy walks together. They\u2019ve been \u201cinseparable\u201d ever since, Bowe added.<\/p>\n

Considering this is Knight\u2019s fifth and final Olympics, it makes sense she\u2019d want to go out with a bang. With her new\u00a0fianc\u00e9e watching, Knight will compete for her second career gold medal when\u00a0Team USA takes on Canada on Thursday. In her fourth Olympic run, Bowe will also compete in her final event, the 1,500 meters, on Thursday. At least she\u2019ll have a new lucky charm in the form of some shiny new hardware.<\/p>\n
