U.S. Olympic bobsledder Kaillie Humphries awarded President Donald Trump her “Order of Ikkos” medal at the White House Thursday, stating that he’s the first president in history to receive one.
Humphries, who won the bronze medal in monobob at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Italy last month, was at the White House to attend a Women’s History Month event hosted by the president and first lady Melania Trump. She was among a select group of people who, in addition to both Trumps, delivered remarks to attendees.
“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,” she told the crowd. “So I am here today, and I’m so honored to present this, my Order of Ikkos medal to you, Donald Trump.”
“Wow,” the president responded. “I knew I liked her.”
Humphries added that she wanted to honor Trump for the “support and the impact [he’s] 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.
“Furthermore, because your policies are creating greater access to IVF, so families like mine can continue to grow,” she said. “Isn’t he just the best?”
Humphries is the most decorated woman in bobsledding history. In addition to medaling this year, she won gold in the monobob at the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing. Previously, Humphries was a member of the Canadian bobsled team, winning gold at the 2010 and 2014 games and the monobob bronze at the 2018 games.
