She crossed the finish line in the red, and Meyers Taylor, surrounded by her husband and two young boys, sank to the ground in joyful tears.Your browser does not support the video tag.0:00 \/ 1:06The final margin of victory: 0.04 seconds.\u201cI still can\u2019t believe it,\u201d the beaming 41-year-old said afterward. \u201cIt\u2019s surreal.\u201dFellow American Kaillie Humphries, who won gold in this event\u2019s debut four years ago in Beijing, finished third and took bronze. Nolte, who led the competition going into the second, third and fourth runs, settled for silver.Meyers Taylor was first in 3 minutes, 57.93 seconds. Nolte was second in 3:57:97, and Humphries was third in 3:58.05. Both Meyers Taylor and Humphries turned in a blistering, identical third-run track record time of 59.08 that kept them within striking distance of gold.Over the last 16 years, Meyers Taylor and Humphries have been two of their country\u2019s most reliable Olympic athletes (Humphries previously competed for Canada, winning gold in 2-woman in both 2010 and 2014, as well as bronze in that event in 2018). And while they are accustomed to collecting medals for their respective trophy cases, Monday marked a significant feat for both women, as they have talked openly about the challenges in returning to competition shape after giving birth. Meyers Taylor had her second child, another boy, in November 2022, while Humphries had her son just 20 months ago.\u201cIt\u2019s everything,\u201d Meyers Taylor said, holding her gold medal, \u201cand it\u2019s nothing \u2014 because in six days, I\u2019ve got school pick-up in the middle of Texas.\u201dMom life, as they say, never stops.Meyers Taylor wasn\u2019t even sure her boys, 3-year-old Noah and almost-6-year-old Nico, would make it to the finish line, given the 9:06 p.m. local start for the final run.\u201cIt was way past their bedtime,\u201d she laughed. \u201cBut to have them here and share that moment with them at the bottom, it was really cool.\u201dHumphries, meanwhile, joked that she didn\u2019t feel bad about keeping Aulden up late.\u201cHe was 100 percent asleep when they handed him to me,\u201d she said. \u201cI was like, \u2018I\u2019m sorry, kid, but I\u2019m getting this moment with you.'\u201dBoth Meyers Taylor and Humphries are hopeful that women everywhere have seen their success on the bobsled track and had one simple takeaway: Being a mom does not mean you have to give up on your dreams.\u201cWhat that dream looks like for every mom is going to be different,\u201d Meyers Taylor said. \u201cFor some moms, it might be staying home, and that is perfectly fine, because that is a very, very difficult dream. It\u2019s way more difficult than winning this medal, I can tell you that. I lasted three weeks as a stay-at-home mom, and I was like, \u2018I\u2019m going back to bobsled.'\u201d\n Meyers Taylor and Kaillie Humphries celebrate their medals from Monday\u2019s race, with Kaillie\u2019s son Aulden along for the ride.Marco Bertorello \/ AFP via Getty ImagesAdded Humphries: \u201cI grew up in this sport and would hear, if you have kids, once you get to 40, it\u2019s all downhill. Elana and I get to be proof that\u2019s not true. It might look different than when you\u2019re 20, but it doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t stand on top of the podium.\u201dOn the podium with gold finally draped around her neck, tears glistened in Meyers Taylor\u2019s eyes. As an 11-year-old, Meyers Taylor, who grew up just outside Atlanta, attended some of the 1996 Summer Olympics, watching the opening ceremony in awe and cheering on marathon runners as they snaked through the city. The daughter of a U.S. Marine, she became obsessed with becoming an Olympian, determined to represent her country. She set her sights on doing it in softball, her first love.But when that didn\u2019t work out, she switched to bobsled and found a new addition. It has given her a career, a family (her husband is a former U.S. bobsledder), and now, the most coveted prize in the sport.Meyers Taylor was already the most decorated Black Winter Olympian in Games history, and with Monday\u2019s gold, she ties speedskater Bonnie Blair for the most medals by a female U.S. Winter Olympian.\n Meyers Taylor set a track record in the third run, tying with Humphries, to set her up for the gold-medal win.Marco Bertorello \/ AFP via Getty Images\u201cIn 2010, at my very first Games, we had team processing, and we had a bunch of Olympians come and give us encouragement, and (Blair) was one of them,\u201d Meyers Taylor recalled. \u201cI was just starstruck to even meet her. And now, to be in the same sentence as her, that just doesn\u2019t make sense.\u201dMeyers Taylor and Humphries came into these Olympics toting toddlers and an impressive winning streak: They both had the remarkable distinction of having medaled in each of the previous four Games they\u2019d competed in.Now that streak is five.The medals give a much-needed boost to Team USA\u2019s overall medal count, given that numerous athletes expected to contend for hardware \u2014 many of them golds \u2014 have missed their respective podiums entirely. It is also America\u2019s second and third sliding medals at these games, after Ashley Farquharson won bronze in luge women\u2019s singles.\n \n \n \n \n What You Should Read Next\n \n \n \n \n They\u2019re the top U.S. Olympic medal hopes in bobsled, and they\u2019re also working moms\n \n \n Elana Meyers Taylor and Kaillie Humphries are both gold-medal contenders. They'll compete in Italy with their young children by their side.\n \n \n \n \n \n Medals have been breaking at these Olympics, coming apart from the ribbon with the slightest amount of jostling. That might make one leery to let a toddler handle it. But Meyers Taylor said because she won it for her boys, because they\u2019re her motivation, she\u2019ll have no problem handing it over.There\u2019s a decent chance she and Humphries will have more hardware to double as toys, too, as they\u2019ve still got one event to go. Both Humphries and Meyers Taylor will be medal contenders in the 2-woman event, which starts Friday.Before monobob started Sunday, Meyers Taylor worked to teach her boys, both of whom are deaf, a variety of ASL words related to the Winter Olympics, including \u201cchampion\u201d and \u201cbobsled race.\u201dShe also went over a phrase that proved to be most fitting.She taught them how to sign \u201cgold medal.\u201d\nBy\u00a0Lindsay SchnellSenior Writer, College\n \n Feb 17, 2026SUPPORTED BYConnections: Sports EditionSpot the pattern.
