Olympian Kaillie Humphries was seen leaving plenty of Americans shocked recently when she chose to give her medal to US President Donald Trump.
The president was also baffled for a second as he witnessed her crying while she spoke highly of him and then presented him with her Order of Ikkos. The very emotional moment got mixed reviews and reactions from netizens online.
The medal is one that is usually given by a Team USA medal-winning athlete to someone who is very instrumental in their success.
Humphries, who is a naturalized US citizen who hails from Canada, had won two bronze medals for the US in bobsledding at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics. She was recognized by Trump during a White House Women's History Month event that took place yesterday.
After tearing up over the long and tedious journey that has brought her forward to where she is today, including a tough journey to motherhood via IVF, she shared more openly about how all of that impacted her career.
