There is a player who calls himself the 'best bride' at the 2026 Milan/Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics athletes' village, which is a hot topic. The main character is Sophia Kirby (23), a member of the U.S. national luge team.
Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 11th (local time) that Kirby was baptized with more than 600 DMs (direct messages) after entering the Olympic village and became the main character of "Snow Romance."
According to reports, Kirby posted a Reels video on his social media (SNS) before entering Italy with the phrase, "The most popular girl in the athletes' village will arrive tomorrow." The video, both daring and delightful, drew an immediate response, and her followers quickly soared by more than 4000.
Kirby said in an interview with local media, "I'll show you what the world of dating is like despite the murderous game schedule, early bedtime, and constant movement," adding, "I'm trying to create a romantic atmosphere somehow."
In particular, her popularity peaked ahead of Valentine's Day on the 14th. Kirby said, "There are so many date applicants that I'm choosing candidates and replying to them," adding, "I've already scheduled two dates on Saturday (Valentine's Day)."
She said, "The players are ready to enjoy themselves after the game. Of course, the situation will vary depending on the schedule of the game, but we will continue to share our real dating life inside the Olympics," he said.
His skills are drawing attention as well as his flamboyant speech. Kirby will be paired with fellow Shevon Fogan and participate in the "Women's Luge Two Seater" event, which has been adopted as an official Olympic event since the 2026 event, as the first U.S. national team to pass the preliminary round.
Fans are paying attention to whether Luge, a prospect who writes a new history, will even win the romance of the athletes' village.
