Elana Meyers Taylor is a three time Olympic medalist and a two time women’s world champion (woah!) in bobsledding. She also happens to have the cutest little training buddy.. her son Nico, who has Down syndrome! Elana gave birth as the pandemic began and between receiving Nico’s diagnosis and raising a baby in the middle of quarantine (all while continuing to train for the Olympics) her journey has been anything but typical!
In the midst of her family’s busy schedule, Elana advocates across the globe. She proudly brings her son to all of her events and doesn’t shy away from discussing DS - especially with the athletes from the countries who hope to eradicate Down syndrome entirely (more on that in other episodes!). We’re so proud to advocate alongside Elana! Enjoy this interview.. and be sure to cheer her on in the 2022 Winter Games!
