Olympian Briana Scurry Says She Pawned Two of Her Gold Medals During One of Her 'Darkest Moments'
Briana Scurry, a retired soccer star, is recalling one of her darkest moments.
The retired soccer goalkeeper is recalling a low moment after a career-ending traumatic brain injury in 2010 when she had to pawn the two Olympic gold medals she won at the 1996 and 2004 Games. "That moment was one of my darkest moments in my life, and I've had a few," Scurry recently said on iHeartPodcast's Amy & T.J."I think it's because my first gold in '96 at the Atlanta Olympics was the culmination of all the times that my mom and dad spent driving me from A to B, driving me here, supporting me there, and all the people that I played with and everyone that's ever supported me, my coaches, my teammates." Scurry continued by clarifying that she pawned the medals and did not sell them, noting, "I still had ownership as long as I'm making that payment."
