Elana Meyers Taylor became one of the best stories for Team USA in the Milan Cortina Games when she won the gold medal in monobob on Monday.
The 41-year-old mother of two was rightfully emotional after the win as she realized all of her years of hard work had paid off with the biggest honor in her sport. She clinched the win when Germany's Laura Nolte, who led after the first, second, and third runs, fell just short in the fourth and final run and took silver.
