An Olympic Love Story: Brittany Bowe and Hilary Knight are one of Team USA's elite power couples

Meet one of Team USA's ultimate power couples. Hilary Knight and Brittany Bowe crossed paths at many Team USA events, but they didn't become close until the 2022 Beijing Olympics, same year they began their relationship.

In this video, US women's hockey legend Hilary Knight sits down for an interview covering her illustrious Olympic career, the intense rivalry with Canada, and her evolving role as a veteran leader. Now in a position where she's "done it all," Hilary is focused on enjoying the journey, taking in every moment, and appreciating the people around her. The conversation dives deep into the US-Canada rivalry—one of the greatest in all of sports. Hilary describes it as "spicy" and explains how you can feel the intensity whether you're in the stadium or watching through a TV screen. It's best-on-best competition that brings something special out of every player. When pressed for three words to describe Canada, her response? "It gets spicy." Hilary also reflects on her responsibility as a mentor to younger players, remembering how she hung on every word from legends like Angela Ruggiero and Jenny Potter when she was starting out. She takes that role seriously, making sure to give meaningful advice and help teammates perform at their best. Beyond hockey, she discusses how sport can promote peace and bring the world together—the core of the Olympic Charter. Her favorite Olympic moments? Opening ceremony with Team USA (bringing her to the brink of tears) and geeking out while watching the world's best athletes compete across all sports.

American speed skating legend Brittany Bowe opens up about her quest for Olympic gold, the mental preparation required at the elite level, and the emotional surprise that brought her to tears. As a six-time world champion heading into another Olympic Games, Brittany is leveraging her seasoned experience and mental preparation to overcome what's become harder physically with each passing year. Brittany emphasizes that while practice requires hard work, dedication, and focus, teams can't forget to have fun. As the veteran on a team of young guns, she finds they keep her young, keep her smiling, and keep her laughing throughout practice. But make no mistake—speed skating is brutal. Putting yourself through the misery of a squatted position for minutes on end, feeling your legs turn to bricks, questioning why you inflict this pain on yourself. The answer? Because it's fun, and because pushing boundaries and doing things people have never done before is what they all continue to chase. Brittany reveals that mental preparation has become increasingly crucial. While some think more experience makes competition easier, it's actually the opposite—expectations continue to build, and if you don't have your mental game set, ready, and stable, it's not a fun ride.
