Kaysha Love Bobsled: A Valentine’s Day Story of Love and Olympic Dreams
CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy – This Valentine’s Day, the spirit of love isn’t just in the air, it’s in the driver’s seat! Kaysha Love, a talented bobsled pilot hailing from Herriman, Utah, is proudly representing the USA at the Olympic Games. “I’m really grateful to be representing USA going into these Games,” she shared, radiating enthusiasm.
While many Olympic athletes are separated from loved ones during this global competition, Kaysha Love has a unique advantage – her fiancé, Hunter Powell, is also an Olympic bobsledder! Their story is a testament to the power of shared dreams and unwavering support.
From Romance to the Racetrack
When asked about how her fiancée influenced his entry into the sport, Powell playfully joked she had nothing to do with it, before quickly admitting, with a laugh, that Love was indeed his inspiration. “It’s the coolest thing in the world,” Powell exclaimed. “I’m traveling the world for the first time in my life, chasing the dream with the woman I love and my best friend. It doesn’t get better than that.”
Their relationship adds an extra layer of excitement and camaraderie to their Olympic journey. It’s a beautiful example of how personal connections can fuel athletic ambition.
A Utah Ambassador on the World Stage
Kaysha Love isn’t just an ambassador for bobsled; she’s a passionate advocate for her home state of Utah. She has been actively involved in the bid to bring the 2034 Winter Olympics back to Salt Lake City. “Being a part of the 2034 Salt Lake delegation and making sure that the Games were able to come back to Salt Lake has been such a blessing over the past two years, watching my community and our city come together,” Love explained.
She emphasizes the reciprocal relationship, stating, “Maybe I’m biased because I come from Utah, but I love the way our community has come together, and the love and support I’ve felt has been amazing.” Utah’s enthusiastic support has undoubtedly been a driving force behind her success.
