American Bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor won her fifth Olympic medal Saturday — making her the most decorated Black athlete in Winter Olympic history.
Despite the bronze medal, Meyers Taylor and Hoffman recorded a record-setting push time of 5.30 seconds and finished with a combined time of 4:05.48, Team USA said.
Saturday's bronze medal also made Meyers Taylor the fifth bobsledder in U.S. history to win two medals in a single Olympics competition, according to Team USA. Meyers Taylor has also managed to medal in all five Olympic events that she has entered. "I've been on Olympic podiums before but I can't think of any that's been harder to get than here," she said, according to Team USA."So it's just been incredible and I can't even put into words what this means."
Meyers Taylor's teammates have chosen her to lead the team as flag bearer for the closing ceremony Sunday. The last time a bobsledder was chosen for the honor was in 2002.
