CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy — For 16 years, a gold medal eluded Elana Meyers Taylor, the most decorated female bobsledder in the sport’s history. She crossed the finish line in the red, and Meyers Taylor, surrounded by her husband and two young boys, sank to the ground in joyful tears. “What that dream looks like for every mom is going to be different,” Meyers Taylor said. But Meyers Taylor said because she won it for her boys, because they’re her motivation, she’ll have no problem handing it over. Both Humphries and Meyers Taylor will be medal contenders in the 2-woman event, which starts Friday.
