Heartbreaking not to get gold - Meyers

Friday, February 21 2014 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    USA bobsleigh teams talk about winning silver and bronze medals in Sochi.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Elana Meyers (On losing gold rather than winning silver)
    "Honestly, I think this morning...you know looking up at the scoreboard last night and being so elated with a medal, that was a pretty cool moment. But this morning, I woke up and realised it was a tenth (or a second) and realised that I made so many mistakes that cost me the gold medal. It was a little heartbreaking. But, at the end of the day, I'm going to enjoy this medal. Lauren (Williams) worked so hard for us and she did everything she could to bring this team together and my entire team. I didn't win this medal in isolation. Todd Hayes (coach) has done some miracles with my driving career and really helped me to get here so even though I might feel a little down right now that I lost out on the gold, I also have to appreciate the fact that I won the silver as well."
