1:01Now PlayingThe world is talking about Elana Meyers Taylor.
At 41.
A mom of two boys with special needs.
Coming off a back injury and concussion.
She wins her FIRST Olympic gold at her fifth — and likely final — Games.
Gold was the only medal missing from her collection.
Now she’s the most decorated Black Winter Olympian ever…
And the oldest U.S. woman to win Winter Olympic gold.
She nearly retired.
She told us she was done.
Thank goodness she came back. 🥹
Her message: Don’t quit. Especially when it’s hard.
