Winter Olympics: U.S. speedskater Brittany Bowe, hockey player Hilary Knight get engaged

Love continues to be in the air for Olympians. Add Hilary Knight and Brittany Bowe to the list of athlete who have gotten engaged during the Milan Games.

Knight, a forward for the U.S. women's hockey team, proposed to Bowe, a member of the American speedskating team, this week eight years after the couple met during the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics.

"Olympics brought us together. This one made us forever," Knight wrote in her social media caption.

Knight and Bowe's relationship began when they took nightly walks together in Pyeongchang as a way to relax following competition. A friendship blossomed into romance and now they are set to be married.

AFAIC, NO self-respecting professional or Olympic athlete should accept any invitation to the WH while Trump is in office, unless they're waving a picket sign.
