It's an Olympic bronze medal for Philadelphia bobsledder Sylvia Hoffman and Elana Meyers Taylor!

Elana Meyers Taylor extended her medal record, too.

Nolte and Deborah Levi won with ease, finishing four runs in 4 minutes, 3.96 seconds. Jamanka, the 2018 Olympic champion, and Alexandra Burghardt were second in 4:04.73. Meyers Taylor and Olympic rookie Sylvia Hoffman were third in 4:05.48. “It hurts, I won't lie," Humphries said. “I gave every ounce of everything I had to the last two days and it wasn't there. I'm proud of the work that we put in and what we put into it. It sucks and it's infuriating to know that it wasn't good enough, but at the end of the day, that's racing. We can't be fearful of not being the best. Both Kaysha and I had giant targets on our back coming in and I'm so proud of what we did together.

Said Love, who wants to learn to drive: “I'm so proud of us. The experience that she's given me at my first Olympic Games, it's unmatched." Meyers Taylor's totals, including her Olympic debut as a push athlete: three silvers, two bronzes. The Beijing medals were a silver behind Humphries in monobob, and now this bronze.
