They’re sliding into her DMs.

The Winter Olympics’ self-proclaimed “most eligible bachelorette” has been heating up in the frozen Italian mountains as she chased gold and a possible diamond ring.

American luger Sophia Kirkby has been sharing her experience in the Athletes Village ever since touching down in Cortina earlier this month, in between practice and competition.

“The Olympics officially kick off, and I’ll be in Cortina. Also… yes, I’m single. Athlete Village’s Most Eligible Bachelorette season has officially begun,” Kirkby wrote in an Instagram post on Feb. 1.

“I’m so happy to announce I’ll be showing you the inside life of an Olympian dating at the Olympics,” she wrote in a follow-up post.

Kirkby, 24, a native of Ray Brook, New York — just outside of Lake Placid — has already made history with luge partner Chevonne Forgan as the first Olympians to compete in the inaugural Women’s Double Luge.

The American duo placed fifth in Wednesday’s competition with a time of 1:47.565, just over a second behind Italian gold medalists Andrea Voetter and Marion Oberhofer.

Despite not making the podium, Kirkby said she would be sticking around for the remainder of the games as she searches for a different type of partner.

“I’m not just looking to the other Olympians to grab a cappuccino. I’ll have my dating profiles activated and I’m open to grabbing a coffee with you the fans,” Kirkby said.

Kirkby has made it a goal to not be alone for the romantic holiday, urging people to “hit her up.”

“Valentine’s Day is coming up, and I’m still looking for a date, so shoot me a message,” Kirkby told NBC Sports.

At least a thousand people have slid into the American Slider’s DMs after she proclaimed the “most eligible bachelorette season” open as lusting fans and staffers proposed dates and potential meet-ups.

“Lets review some messages I’ve been getting from the boys,” Kirkby said in an Instagram post.

“Hi, Sophia! Heard you are looking for a Valentine’s date?” one person wrote.

Another one called Kirkby “an amazing, wonderful and lovely Dreamwoman.”

A man claiming to be the DJ at the Cortina Sliding Centre, where the Luge events were held, asked Kirkby for a homemade pin she has been making in her free time at the village.

“Oh my God, the DJ at our Olympic venue wants me to give him a pin! Should I give him a pin?” Kirkby asked her followers.

Potential suitors of Kirkby have to be taller than her 5’3″ stature and have the strength to literally sweep her off her feet, according to a video released by Xfinity.

“I’ve had so many contenders for a date, and I’m ready to start messaging you guys back,” she said.

Kirkby has not shared any plans or the identities of potential dates for Valentines Day on Saturday.
