In this episode of Flame Bearers, host Shannon Rowbury sits down with Mirai Nagasu, a two-time Olympic figure skater and bronze medalist, to talk about her legendary career on the ice, transitioning into coaching, and navigating motherhood. Mirai Nagasu shares her journey from making history as a young national champion to why she famously kept her Olympic medal in her underwear drawer before eventually putting it on display to inspire the next generation. Together, they also explore the physical realities of pregnancy, bringing her five-day-old son to the rink in a baby carrier, the striking similarities between an athlete's support team and a mother's “village,” and why it’s time for sports media to move past curated perfection.
