As the married world-champion ice dancers recover from their final 2026 event and polish their shiny new medal, engaged bobsledders Kaysha Love and Hunter Powell are preparing to hit the ice in a very different way: much faster, while wearing helmets.
Bobsledding is divided up into men’s and women’s categories. So while they don’t compete together, Love and Powell are on the same team — and they plan to stay that way forever.
Below, find out how the two Olympians fell in love and how to see them compete at the Milan Cortina Olympics, starting February 15.

How bobsledders Kaysha Love and Hunter Powell got together
The two athletes met during track meets in college. Love was a successful sprinter at UNLV, and Powell competed in decathlon while always in search of something that would push him harder.
It was Love who introduced Hunter to bobsledding, and it was the first time he ever felt like a sport came naturally to him. “This is the first time I ever came in and someone was like, ‘you’re pretty good,'” he said in a profile written for the paper at Colorado State, where he first ran track.
As Love pushed Powell to give bobsled a real try, he fell in love with both her and the sport at the same time.
Powell is competing in his first Olympics this winter, but Love also competed in 2022. She is the current monobob world champion, meaning she pushes, pilots, and steers the bobsled all on her own. In other bobsled events, there are at least two team members to share those tasks.
Powell and Love got engaged in July 2025. He posted footage of the proposal and wrote her a sweet message on Instagram.
“I love you to the moon and back and infinitely more, Kaysha Love,” he wrote. “I always have and I always will.”
