Olympic bobsledder Lauren Gibbs lets Ivanka Trump try on her silver medal

She seemed to like it.

Team USA bobsledder and silver medalist Lauren Gibbs asked Trump, who was dispatched to South Korea by her father to lead the U.S. delegation to Sunday’s closing of the Winter Games, if she wanted to see what if felt like to carry the marker of one the top sledders in the world.

The First Daughter happily accepted the offer.

“I feel like this almost is like trying on someone’s wedding band,” Trump said. “Am I allowed?”

“That is so cool,” Trump added as she raised the medal with one hand and draped her other around Gibb’s and posed for photos.
