MILAN (AP) — A medal isn’t the only keepsake Hilary Knight is bringing back from the Milan Cortina Games.

There’s also an engagement ring after the U.S. women’s hockey captain posted a video Wednesday of her proposing to American speedskater Brittany Bowe.

Under the heading “Olympics brought us together,” the video on Instagram shows Knight dropping to one knee and presenting Bowe with a ring. Bowe nods yes, and Knight then slips the ring on her finger.

Knight is scheduled to speak after the Americans practice later in the day. Team USA also confirmed the engagement.

The two first met at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games. And both have said this year’s Olympics will be their last, with Knight appearing in her Team USA women’s hockey record fifth Games.

The video was posted a day before Knight and the favored U.S. team play Canada in the gold medal final. Bowe is a two-time Olympic bronze medalist.

This year, she failed to medal in her first two events by finishing fourth in the 1,000 meters and women’s team pursuit. She will close the Games competing in the 1,500 meters race on Friday.
