## Caption

Elana Meyers Taylor nearly retired after the last Olympics.

Instead, she came back — and at 41 years old won her first Olympic gold.

The only medal missing from her legendary career.

She becomes:
✔️ The most decorated Black Winter Olympian
✔️ The oldest U.S. woman to win Winter Olympic gold

And she did it for her boys.

Her message to kids everywhere:
If it matters to you, keep going. Especially when it’s hard.
