Show Notes
After she was passed over for the USA team for Sochi 2014, Mirai Nagasu was done with figure skating.
“It wasn’t fun… I used to think, ‘I deserve to sit here in my puddle of tears and cry.’”
She vowed to make a comeback and became the first American woman to land a triple axel at the Olympics – and took home Olympic bronze in the team event.
Olympic champion Meryl Davis sat down with her to speak about the 2018 Olympics, the sarcasm of her teammate Gracie Gold and how she landed that big jump.
