HuffPost
Hilary Knight, captain of the gold medal-winning women's team, admitted that she was "really nervous" when she popped the question to her partner and fellow Olympian.
Team USA women’s hockey star Hilary Knight said on Monday that she went “full send” mode while proposing to U.S. speedskater Brittany Bowe, causing her to totally overlook the grate below her when she got down on one knee.
“I wouldn’t recommend it,” said the gold medalist of where she decided to pop the question during an interview on “The Tonight Show” alongside Team USA men’s hockey stars, brothers Jack and Quinn Hughes.
Knight, when asked by host Jimmy Fallon why she’d add “stress to her life” by choosing such a location to ask, responded, “I like high-pressure situations, I guess.”
Just one day before she tipped a game-tying shot that helped send the American women to an overtime win over rival Canada, Knight proposed to her girlfriend and fellow Olympian in Milan.
The two initially met at the 2022 Beijing Games, where their masked, evening walks under strict COVID-19 policies blossomed into what Bowe called an “inseparable” bond.
