“For most people, they only thing they know about bobsled is 'Cool Runn...” — Elana Meyers Quote

For most people, they only thing they know about bobsled is 'Cool Runnings.' Well, 'Cool Runnings' was, of course, four men in a bobsled, and four-man is considered the highlight of our sport. It's what everybody knows. It's what everybody watches. And it's the big dog of our sport.

I love this sport, and I want people to have the opportunities that I have.

So the more that we can go out there and grow the sport, the better.

I've always considered music stores to be the graveyards of musicians.

Where you have a little setback or you are out of the team you're considered a different player but you know you will come out of the other side of it.

We had maybe the greatest success of any company that I know of in Paris, and after two or three years I wanted to do this same number that we did for PBS, so we did it and Paris had always considered us their darlings.
