Elana Meyers Taylor becomes most decorated Black athlete in Winter Olympics history

By the numbers: Meyers Taylor, 37, has competed in four Winter Olympics, starting with the 2010 Vancouver Games.

• She won a bronze medal there in the two-woman event, and followed that up with a silver in the 2014 Sochi Games and a silver in the 2018 Pyeonchang Olympics.

What they're saying: "That is overwhelming," Meyers Taylor said. "It's so crazy to hear that stat and know that I'm part of a legacy that's bigger than me."

What's next: Meyers Taylor hinted that she would retire after the Beijing Olympics, saying that "there's a good chance that it's my last one," ESPN reported.

• "It's going to be really hard to top this Olympics. Two medals and now closing it out with flagbearer, it's going to be really hard to top that," she said.
• She was also named the Opening Ceremony flagbearer, but had to give up her role after testing positive for COVID-19. She was cleared to compete a few days later.
