Elana Meyers Taylor, the most decorated female Olympic bobsledder of all time, is preparing for her fifth consecutive Winter Olympics at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games. Meanwhile, the search continues for Nancy Guthrie, who was reportedly kidnapped from her Tucson, Arizona, home on February 1, 2026.

At 41 years old, Elana Meyers Taylor, with three silver and two bronze medals, is preparing to race down the track in a 350-pound bobsled. "Like it is insane. But when you hit it right, when you're really nailing it, it's the closest thing to flying I could think of," she explained, describing the feeling as "superhero" like. The 2026 Milan Cortina Games will mark her fifth consecutive Winter Olympics. "I love going fast and I love being able to control this thing that should be out of control, that should be uncontrollable," she said.
The upcoming Winter Olympics will see approximately 2,900 athletes competing in 116 events. During the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing, Norway took home the most medals with 37, including 16 gold. The U.S. came out on top at the most recent Summer Games in Paris in 2024, taking home 126 medals, including 40 gold.
