Pat McAfee Wants Mikaela Shiffrin To Turn Her Third Olympic Gold Medal Into a Giant Belt Buckle

The G.O.A.T. of alpine skiing, Mikaela Shiffrin, recently went on the Pat McAfee Show to discuss winning her 3rd Olympic Gold Medal at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, and the conversation took a fairly interesting direction toward where the professional skier should store her gold medal. Shiffrin explained that, as she hasn’t been back from Europe yet, she’s just traveling around with the medal, prompting McAfee and crew to suggest several interesting concepts.

I'm gonna be carrying it around for the rest of this season" ~ @MikaelaShiffrin #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/N2k5UHZ6HP

The belt seems like the most realistic idea, creating a massive belt buckle out of the Olympic medal. The watch, headband, and ski goggles concept seem a little beyond what’s possible. Personally if I won a gold medal I would put it in a nice viewing case and keep it somewhere every house guest would see.

If you’re wondering how the conversation went prior to this discussion, know that Shiffrin kicked it off in a rather interesting way, telling McAfee and crew that they “yap like no other.”

She clearly made a pretty quick positive impression on the crew as one might expect. She is the G.O.A.T. after all.
