Emotional Olympian Gives President Trump Her Medal For Protecting Women’s Sports

The global elite might not want to recognize President Trump’s many accomplishments, but men and women who have actually achieved something noteworthy on their own are consistently sharing their honors with the commander in chief.

One recent example involves Olympic bobsledder Kaillie Humphries, who gave a medal she received at the games to Trump as part of a National Women’s Month celebration at the White House.

The Daily Caller provided additional coverage:

Humphries cried as she said the reason behind her decision to honor the president in that manner was to recognize his work to protect women’s sports for biological females. Trump issued an executive order Feb. 5 titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” aimed at keeping biological males out of women’s sports in education programs subject to Title IX.

“I want to recognize the support and the impact you’ve had on women’s sports throughout the Olympic movement — specifically standing up to keep biological women in women’s sports, to keep the field of play safe and allow for fair competition,” Humphries said.

Trump beamed with joy as Humphries said, “So we only get one,” noting that she was officially presenting him with her very own medal.

“Every Olympic medalist in the United States gets an Order of Ikkos that they get to hand to somebody in honor and recognition of somebody who’s made a meaningful contribution to their journey to the podium, because Olympic medals are never achieved alone,” Humphries said.

The moment also received plenty of attention on social media:

The ceremony came just days after Humphries confirmed that she supports the Trump administration, as Fox News reported late last month:

Humphries won a hard-earned bronze in the women’s two-person bobsled last weekend, marking her sixth Olympic medal, adding to her collection of three golds and two other bronzes.

Now, as Humphries looks ahead to her next contribution to Team USA, she hopes to serve on the White House Task Force for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

She hopes to do so as a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump.

“I’m a Republican,” Humphries told Fox News Digital, adding that she voted for Trump in 2024.

Humphries owns a unique place in Olympic history as the only bobsledder to win a gold medal for two different countries.

She won gold for Team Canada in the 2010 Vancouver Games and 2014 Sochi Games. Then she went through a grueling process of becoming an American citizen, before competing for Team USA in the 2022 Beijing Games, where she also won gold.

Her process of becoming a legal immigrant and forging a new life in the U.S., having settled in San Diego, California, where she now raises a son with her husband Travis, has given her immense pride as an American. She believes it’s a system that must be upheld and respected.

“I stand with legal immigration. I think it’s a very hard process, it’s not an easy process,” she said, noting the American flag on her T-shirt. “It shouldn’t be an easy process. It’s hard, you are actively seeking something great. It’s why I can stand here and be very proud to wear this flag across my chest and represent the United States.

Here’s a clip of her remarks at that time:
