"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."

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."
