Elana Meyers Taylor, 41, wins Olympic gold medal for US in women's monobob
- On Monday, Feb. 16, 2026, Elana Meyers Taylor won her first Olympic gold in women's monobob at the Milan Cortina Games with a total of 3:57.93, edging Laura Nolte by 0.04 seconds.
- With totals deciding the podium, Nolte led after earlier runs and held only slim margins over Meyers Taylor and Humphries going into the final heat.
- After her third run, Meyers Taylor finished with 3:57.93, then dropped to her knees when the result was official, securing Olympic gold. Humphries Armbruster finished in 3:58.05 for bronze, and Love finished seventh with 3:59.27.
- At 41, Meyers Taylor's victory makes her the oldest American woman to hear `The Star-Spangled Banner` at the Winter Games, just over three years after Noah's birth.
- Team USA's strong start at these Games means Meyers Taylor and Kaillie Humphries Armbruster return Tuesday, Feb. 17 for two-woman training runs ahead of heats on Feb. 20 and Feb. 21; both are 40-something mothers competing in Olympic women's bobsled history.
