After winning gold in women’s monobob, Elana Meyers signed “Mommy won” to her two deaf sons, a powerful personal moment amid a historic victory.
Meyers Taylor captured her first Olympic gold at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Games, edging Germany’s Laura Nolte by 0.04 seconds in one of the closest finishes in Olympic bobsled history.
She didn’t reach the podium once in the World Cup season leading into her fifth Olympics, pushing through injuries, chronic pain, self-doubt, a horrific crash in St. Moritz last month, and the logistics of raising two young sons, Nico, five, who is deaf and has Down’s syndrome, and Noah, three, who is also deaf, on the mostly European circuit.
