Newlyweds, but rivals, as Olympic duo pursue skeleton dreams

The couple tied the knot in a civil ceremony this past August in Calgary, Canada, where they have bought a house and live when they are not competing around the world. Silveira, a 31-year-old Brazilian, is a former bodybuilder who works as a nurse for a few months of the year. Meylemans, a 29-year-old who was born in Germany but represents Belgium, moved to Calgary to live with her partner. The couple fell in love during the Covid-19 pandemic, when they both stayed at the same hotel and, with little else to do, started chatting.
