“I think my Olympic crush is probably Suni Lee. She’s so pretty and very stylish. See what I’m saying? I like it, yeah,” Liu said of the two-time gold medalist.
Another figure skater, Amber Glenn, was also accompanied by a gymnast.
“I have a big Olympic crush. Laurie Hernandez,” Glenn said. “I love that she’s openly queer and completely herself, a little nerdy, just like me.”
Hernández was part of the team that won gold in Rio in 2016. She won silver on the balance beam.

Speed skater Brittany Bowe was asked the same question, but it wasn’t that difficult for her: She’s engaged to women’s hockey captain Hilary Knight.
“There’s no thinking outside the box on that,” she joked.
The two got engaged the day before Knight’s team won against Canada. Knight shared the moment on social media, captioning a video of the two athletes wearing matching Team USA clothing: “The Olympics brought us together. This one made us forever.”

The United States brought home 12 gold medals from Milan, setting a new personal best for the Winter Olympics. The country’s previous record was 10, reached in Salt Lake City 24 years ago.
