Elana Meyers Taylor, the most decorated female bobsledder in the sport's history, came into the Milan Cortina Games still chasing the ultimate prize. Despite a long list of Olympic success, the 41-year-old had never climbed to the top of the podium with gold around her neck, until Monday when she finished women's monobob competition .04 seconds faster than German's Laura Nolte to finally break through.
It was arguably the best feel-good moment for Team USA so far in Italy as the bobsledder has an amazing story to tell. She's balanced motherhood and world-class athletics to become a six-time Olympic medalist, an American record she now shares with Bonnie Blair.
