OWINGS MILLS, Md. – Last week at Liberty National, Xander Schauffele revealed that he hadn't spent a lot of time with his Olympic gold medal since winning it in Tokyo last month.
"Pops has it," Schauffele said. "I can't get it off of him right now. I had a couple of media things to do with the medal, and then I got a phone call shortly after that asking for the medal back."
Stefan Schauffele says it's been "an even split," but he did sleep with the medal cradled in his arms the night of his son's Olympic triumph.
