Meryl Davis Almost Forgot Her Olympic Medal For NYC Trip

Meryl Davis shows off her shiny gold medal from the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics during her appearance on AOL’s Build Series on Friday afternoon (August 14) in New York City.

The 28-year-old professional ice dancer and student chatted about her career on the ice and what’s next for her.

“I fell in love with ice skating growing up in Michigan. I feel very free when I skate!” Meryl shared with the crowd.

Just a few days before, Meryl almost forgot her medal for the trip!

“Had to ask my @Uber driver to turn around and go back! ???? Almost forgot this important item on my way to #NYC,” she wrote on Twitter.
