奥运选手希拉里·奈特表示,自美国女子冰球队在2026年意大利奥运会击败加拿大并在总统特朗普发表争议性言论后,她们获得了”难以置信”的支持。
在给同样赢得金牌的美国男子冰球队的祝贺电话中,特朗普总统邀请这支队伍参加他的国情咨文演讲,并补充说他也必须邀请女子队,否则可能面临弹劾。
五届奥运奖牌得主奈特此前曾称总统的玩笑”令人不快且不幸”。
“在我们完成这段旅程返回后,加倍支持我们的人们真是太棒了。所以,我们只是很高兴能与各自的社区分享这份喜悦,并继续做好我们的工作,成为出色的代表和优秀的人。”她在周一接受《CBS早间新闻》采访时表示。
美国女子冰球队以日程冲突为由拒绝了特朗普总统参加国情咨文的邀请。
美国冰球协会发言人在一份声明中说:”由于时间安排以及赛后已预先安排的学术和职业承诺,运动员们无法参加。她们很荣幸能被邀请,并对这份认可表示感激。”
“难以置信的历程”

奈特在决赛中打入扳平比分的进球,帮助美国队在加时赛获胜。她说,自己从5岁起就梦想参加奥运会。
“我(对奥运会)的理解有点不同,”奈特回顾自己的奥运历程时表示,”实现这些梦想,和我们这个团队一起做到这一点,这真是一段难以置信的旅程。”
36岁的奈特表示,自己”当然有能力”重返奥运会,但她补充道:”我认为这是……可以说,对我来说,这个精彩的故事书已经走到了尽头。”
Hilary Knight reflects on “incredible” support for U.S. women’s hockey after Trump comments
March 2, 2026 / 1:21 PM EST / CBS News
Olympian Hilary Knight said it’s been “incredible” how much support the U.S. women’s hockey team has received since defeating Canada at the 2026 Games in Italy and following President Trump’s controversial comments.
In a congratulatory call to the U.S. men’s hockey team, who also won gold, Mr. Trump invited the men to his State of the Union speech and added he’d have to invite the women too or risk being impeached.
Knight, a five-time Olympic medalist, previously referred to the president’s joke as “distasteful and unfortunate.”
“To double down and have people support us, you know, when we returned back from that journey was incredible. So, we’re just excited to share that with our respective communities and continue to do our thing and be awesome representatives and be great humans,” she said in an interview with “CBS Mornings” on Monday.
The U.S. women’s hockey team declined Mr. Trump’s invitation to the State of the Union, citing scheduling conflicts.
“Due to the timing and previously scheduled academic and professional commitments following the Games, the athletes are unable to participate,” a USA Hockey spokesperson said in a statement. “They were honored to be included and are grateful for the acknowledgment.”
“Incredible ride”

Knight, who scored the tying goal against Canada in the final before the U.S. won in overtime, said she’s dreamed of competing at the Olympics since she was just 5 years old.
“I am dialed a little differently,” Knight said, reflecting on her Olympic journey. “To realize those dreams, to do it with the group that we had, it’s just been such an incredible ride.”
At 36 years old, Knight said she’s “certainly capable” of returning to the Olympics, but added, “I think this is … we are just processing this amazing storybook, so to speak, ending for myself.”
