US Olympic bobsledder surprises Trump, awards him prestigious Order of Ikkos medal
Armbruster Humphries honored Trump with the Olympic Order of Ikkos for his support of IVF access and policies on transgender women’s sports after winning two bronze medals for Team USA.
- On Thursday, Humphries presented her Order of Ikkos to President Donald Trump at a White House Women’s History Month event, announcing she had selected him for the honor.
- Built into Olympic practice, the Order of Ikkos lets medalists honor someone who aided their podium run, and Humphries said she gifted it to thank Trump for expanding IVF and supporting female athletes.
- Having won two bronze medals for the United States at the 2026 Milano Cortina, Humphries described her achievement as especially meaningful after returning to elite sport following IVF treatments and a diagnosis of endometriosis, and welcomed a son in June 2024.
- President Donald Trump reacted onstage after Humphries presented the medal and appeared pleased, while Humphries said, 'I believe this actually makes you the first president in history to ever be awarded an Order of Ikkos as well.'
- Given the emotional delivery, Humphries said she wanted to spotlight Trump's positions on women's athletics and family issues, linking the tribute to policy.
