Meyers Taylor has won six Olympic medals across five Winter Games
American bobsleigh veteran Elana Meyers Taylor had won everything there is to win in the sport - except for Olympic gold.
That was until Monday when, on her fifth attempt, she finally added that missing piece to her extraordinary collection.
The 41-year-old triumphed in the women's monobob to become the oldest individual Olympic champion at a Winter Games, overtaking Austrian snowboarder Benjamin Karl, 40.
Gold at Milan-Cortina adds to the three silver and two bronze medals she has already won across two events - the monobob and the two-woman bobsleigh - since competing at her first Games in Vancouver 16 years ago.
