Elana Meyers Taylor is nearing the end of a four-year wait to make up for a mistake that cost her Olympic gold in Sochi.
Her father waited longer — six years — to play in an NFL regular-season game. It never happened.
As Meyers Taylor lines up to make her third Olympic bobsled team, her dad helps her train. By sitting in the driver seat of black Kia Sportage as his daughter pushes the 3,500-pound SUV down a driveway.
Eddie Meyers set school rushing records at Navy in the early 1980s and was destined for the NFL.
