Team USA bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor made history as the oldest individual to win gold at the Winter Olympics
Elana Meyers Taylor arrived at the 2026 Winter Olympics with three silver medals and two bronze, and finally won gold in the women’s monobob event, making history at 41 years old as the oldest individual to win gold at the Winter Olympics.
She’s also the most decorated women’s bobsledder in Olympic history and the most decorated Black Winter Olympian in any sport. She also tied retired U.S. speed skater Bonnie Blair for the most medals by a U.S. woman in the Winter Olympics.
Her teammate and fellow mom, 40-year-old Kaillie Armbruster Humphries won bronze in the event, marking the first time two women over 40 reached a Winter Olympic podium.
Even better: Meyers Taylor is also a disability advocate. Her two sons are both deaf, and her oldest son has Down syndrome. She said, “I've had so many people from around the world reaching out and telling me their stories and how they have a kid with down syndrome or a kid who is deaf and they believe in me.”
A Minnesota tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests
Juan Leon had only been running his tow truck business, Leo’s Towing, for a few months when he began noticing abandoned cars throughout the Twin Cities.
After realizing they belonged to those who had been arrested by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Leon began asking for help online. Once he linked them to the right owner, he returned them to the families for free.
“Seeing there was a need for someone to help out, help clear the streets and get the people back their vehicles. So we stepped up and started doing it,” Leon told CBS News.
“This medal is also for all those moms who weren't necessarily able to live their dreams, but their kids are now their dreams. Because those people keep me grounded. Those people kept me going and those people are the ones who reach out to me when things are hard and encourage me.”
