Elana Meyers Taylor has medaled at all three Olympics she's been a part of, in addition to racking up more bobsled world cup medals than you can comfortably count. Most recently, she broke a track record in a monobob (single-person bobsleigh) race this past December, en route to her third gold in four monobob world cup events. At 37, it's clear that Meyers Taylor is as hungry as ever to win gold, and it can't hurt that she has a little extra motivation this year. Meyers Taylor gave birth to her first child in 2020 and said last year, "I want to show [my child] Nico that you can persevere through anything. I want him to go out there and chase any dream he has without fear."
