Where Olympians Keep Their Medals

Olympic medals are very special prizes. Athletes work hard for many years to win them. Only the best athletes in the world get these medals.

But where do athletes keep their medals? Many keep them in sock drawers! Alex Hall is a skier. He won a gold medal in 2022. He keeps it under his socks. Mikaela Shiffrin is a famous skier. She has three Olympic medals. She also keeps them in a sock drawer.

Why do they do this? Some athletes are not showy people. They want their medals close by. They like to share their medals with other people. A sock drawer is easy to reach. The medals are special, but the journey to win them is more important.
