Olympic champion Elana Meyers Taylor says she will miss the 2026-27 bobsled season after reporting ongoing post-concussive symptoms. She indicates she hopes to return to sled work, but not for competition during the upcoming season.
The Winnipeg Free Press frames the decision as her skipping the World Cup portion of the sport’s calendar due to concussion-related aftereffects. Yahoo Sports similarly reports that Meyers Taylor’s symptoms keep her away from competition, while leaving open the possibility of training or a non-competitive return later.
Both outlets agree on the central point: Meyers Taylor is sidelined from competition for the 2026-27 season because of post-concussive issues, with her focus shifting to recovery and regaining readiness before returning to racing.
