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.
“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.
“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.”
