The medal hunt failed, but the 'love hunt' is said to start now. A U.S. female luge athlete who competed in the 2026 Winter Olympics is making headlines by saying that she will not return home after completing her schedule and will go to an open marriage in Italy. A luge player named Sophia Kirby, 25, is said to be staying longer in Italy to find her boyfriend, although her schedule is over.

Kirby, who referred to himself as the "most attractive single woman," is looking for a date to spend Valentine's Day with, the New York Post said on the 12th (Korea time).

Kirby said in an interview with the New York Post and other media, "I didn't make it to the podium, but I will stay in Italy for the rest of the Olympics to find a different kind of partner." In particular, she expanded her range without limiting her to fellow athletes.

Kirby then said, "I'm not just going to have a cappuccino with other Olympians. My dating app profile is already active. I'm willing to have a cup of coffee not only with the players but also with the fans," he said, signaling an unconventional move.

Kirby also called herself the "most attractive single girl" in the athletes' village and showed a strong will to never spend Valentine's Day alone. According to a New York Post report, Kirby put forward the condition that the man to date him should be taller than himself (about 160 centimeters) and have strong power to lift him up. Kirby revealed this and said, "I'm getting DMs and there are too many. I'm ready to start writing back now," he said.

Meanwhile, Kirby, who competed in the Winter Olympics for the first time, failed to win a medal in the luge two-man event, finishing fifth with a time of 1:47.565. Now, after continuing his challenge to win a medal in the mixed relay event, he is expected to stay a little longer in Italy and return to the United States.
