For one Douglasville native, this is something she’s experienced four times before.

Who is Elana Meyers Taylor?

On Monday, the USA Bobsled and Skeleton team announced four-time Olympian and multi-medal winner Elana Meyers Taylor was chosen as a pilot for the women’s bobsled team.

Taylor competed in the 2010, 2014, 2018 and 2022 winter Olympic games, where she won three silver medals and two bronze medals.

It makes her the most decorated Black winter Olympian.
