"Olympic hockey star Hilary Knight proposed to U.S. Olympic speed skater Brittany Bowe, Outsports reported, getting down on one knee and presenting a ring in a red box in the Olympic Village. Bowe excitedly held her hands in front of her face and nodded in acceptance before leaping into Knight's arms and excitedly showing her ring to the camera while embracing her fiancée."
"Bowe told People magazine that their first date at the 2022 Winter Games involved them walking around the Olympic village in face masks, since the Games coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic. "A very unique way to meet someone, but it was also kind of cool because we felt like we were in this bubble," Bowe said. "We didn't have the family, the friends, no outside distractions. And we really had a lot of time just to get to know each other.""
