Olympic bobsled champion Kaillie Humphries surprised President Trump Thursday by awarding him the Order of Ikkos medal during White House women’s history month event with Melania Trump.
“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 explained.
“I’m so honored to present this, my Order of Ikkos medal, to you, Donald Trump,” she revealed.
Humphries, who took home two bronze medals at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, believes Trump is the first president in history to ever be given the prestigious award.
Named after Ikkos, the first recorded coach in Ancient Greece, the silver medal bearing a torch is often given to coaches or mentors of Olympic athletes – but Humphries said she wanted to recognize Trump for his pro-women policies that have personally impacted her life.
“I want to recognize the support and the impact you’ve had on women’s sports … specifically standing up to keep biological women in women’s sports, to keep the field of play safe and allow for fair competition,” the three-time Olympic gold medalist said.
Humphries also praised Trump’s policies “creating greater access to IVF. so families like mine can continue to grow.”
The bobsledder explained that she became a mother in 2024 after a “two-and-a-half year process through IVF,” and that many doubted she would ever compete in the sport again.
“Wow! I knew I liked her!” Trump beamed after receiving the award

Brava Kaillie Humphries!
I’m guessing countless major news outlets failed to report this. Now, if it were Obama...
“Brava Kaillie Humphries!”
Canadian that saw the light..... Became a USA citizen. She went Gold in 2022. Best in her Sport.
I watched the Olympics a lot and have watched her- i pretty sure she moved here from Canada and became an American citizen...
I just watched the video- wow!!! Liberal heads are exploding!!!
That was WONDERFUL! So on point.
I believe it is the first time I saw President Trump completely surprised and somewhat overwhelmed by the outstanding action of this Olympian. It is well worth the time to watch the video and see the look on Trump’s face.
Please, don’t beat me up. But if I had seen that face on another thread, I would’ve thought trans. Really bad reaction to the roids.
This was the lead story on ABC World News Tonight.....
.....NOT!

You need to watch the video……. Before you make a public apology
Websters defines "barmy" as "stupid, silly, idiotic, half-witted."
Got you pegged.
