Alexa Scimeca-Knierim and Chris Knierim

Alexa and Chris Knierim are a rare Olympic couple who actually compete together. The American pair skaters earned a bronze medal at the 2018 Olympics and made history as the first American pair to execute a quad twist at the Olympics.

Since then, Chris Knierim has retired from professional skating but now works as a coach. Meanwhile, his wife, Alexa, has earned another Olympic bronze medal and was the 2021 US National Champion. This Olympic couple became skating partners in 2012 and tied the knot in 2016.
