She lives now right here in Austin with her family, and we are delighted to welcome her now.

Alana Myers-Taylor, welcome to Wait, Wait.

You came out wearing your gold medal here on stage.

Do you like just wear it around wherever you go?

Pulling rank, pulling rank.

So Alana, we had you on the show in 2022, back in the pandemic.

At that time, you were living in Georgia.

The other thing that happened since last we spoke to you was that you went on to the 2026 Olympics in Milan Cortina in Italy, and you became the gold medalist in the new sport of monobob, right?

And I think I speak for all of your fans here in Austin and internationally when I say, what is a monobob?

What's amazing is, so bobsledding has been around for a long time, over a century, right?

And it took this long to figure out, well, maybe just one person could do it themselves.

Because we discussed this last time you were on the show, the other people, either the one pusher or the three, depending, all they do is push the sled, which is important, and then they get in,

And do nothing.

Yep.

Do nothing.

Preferably.

Preferably.

If they do something, something has gone desperately wrong.

Yes.

And speaking as a driver, you're happy to be rid of that worry?
