Wrecking Each Other’s Sleds with Elana Meyers Taylor

Elana Meyers Taylor, one of the best bobsledders of all time, joins Sarah to talk winning after 40, breaking through to stand atop the monobob podium, and the history of racism and misogyny in the sliding sports. Plus, a “Yes, And” about the first Black woman to win Winter Olympic gold and a “What the Fact” about an absolutely bonkers excuse to keep women out of bobsled’s sister sport.
