- Caitlin Clark celebrated USA Hockey's gold medal wins at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics on social media.
- She congratulated both the women's and men's teams for their victories, showcasing her support for fellow athletes.
- Clark also humorously criticized her team's social media staff for a video quality issue after the celebrations.
Caitlin Clark happens to be one of those superstars who takes time out to congratulate and celebrate successes in other sports, no matter her allegiance.
For instance, she congratulated the Indiana Hoosiers football program after they won the 2026 College Football National Championship, even though she reps her Iowa Hawkeyes on any given night.
She congratulated former Hawkeye Cooper DeJean‘s Super Bowl LIX win, even though it was their victory at the expense of her childhood favorite Kansas City Chiefs.
But when it comes to neutral ground, Clark is one of the first to relay her feelings on social media. When the USA Hockey women won gold at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympic Games, not only did she cheer for them, but she also donned a USA Hockey jersey to celebrate them.
Then, when it was time for the men to break their 46-year deadlock, Caitlin Clark was again one of the first to celebrate the victory. She saw how they overcame their neighbors, Canada, to win the final 2-1.

Her way of celebrating was to repost Nike’s ‘No Miracles Needed’ graphic on her Instagram page. In her celebrations, she was not alone, as many prominent athletes from the NBA and NFL joined.
Athletes from all sports celebrate USA Hockey’s gold
When it comes to the country, athletes set aside their political opinions to come forward and celebrate something their fellow citizens achieved.

That is why a host of athletes joined Caitlin Clark to celebrate this moment, as it has been a long time since USA Hockey could claim victory in its fight for ice hockey supremacy.

Where some athletes detailed how hard fought this close win was for their fellow countrymen, others simply marveled at what some players had to go through to ensure they left Italy with nothing else but gold around necks.
After all, the pressure was on them after the women managed to win gold a few days ago, and then had to honor their late teammate Johnny Gaudreau, whose children were in the stands.
Caitlin Clark trolls Fever social media team for epic fail
Clark has proved she has the ability to switch between seriousness and humor in a snap. After celebrating USA Hockey’s win, the superstar point guard decided to troll her team’s staff.
Respectfully, how am I supposed to watch this… Now I have a migraine.
Caitlin Clark wrote on IG
The 24-year-old wrote this after being frustrated by the video quality of a clip the Fever shared on their social media pages showcasing teammate Aliyah Boston‘s best blocks from the 2025 season.

It so happens that the editor did not take into account the need to change the video’s aspect ratio before uploading it on X or Instagram. The clip is still up on both pages, with what looks like horizontal compression to fit within the boundaries.
no one’s blocking more shots down in Miami than Aliyah Boston 😈
— Indiana Fever (@IndianaFever) February 22, 2026
she’s leading the league with 24 blocks, averaging 2.0 BPG.
take a look at her best career blocks…the TALL way. pic.twitter.com/GOANL0CWrM
Watching it in this manner will give viewers headaches, as Boston herself mentioned. Hopefully, the video will be taken down when the staff returns to work.
