“Bobsled is a universal sport, and most people don't know that. Anybody...” — Elana Meyers Quote

Bobsled is a universal sport, and most people don't know that. Anybody can slide down a hill.

I love this sport, and I want people to have the opportunities that I have. I want the kid in the inner city to know that she can be a bobsledder one day, and I want the kid in the middle of Africa to know that she can be a bobsledder one day. So the more that we can go out there and grow the sport, the better.

Having my dad play for the Falcons, what it did was really to expose me to a whole bunch of other elite-level athletes, which I think gives me an advantage and allowed me to understand what goes into sports. It is more than going out onto the field and going out onto the ice and competing.

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'll die on the hill of my records, but I won't die on the hill of my tweets.

I feel like I lived my life in one of three places: at Indian Hill Park, at a Manasquan school or at the beach.

When I'm on set filming 'One Tree Hill,' I get up and work out four to five days a week.

It's much like football. You've got your regional teams and then they ask the best players to come and play for the national team - the all-stars. That's what this is. We still play for Public Enemy and Cypress Hill, but when it's time to go for the world championship it's Prophets of Rage.

In the course of our run, we realized that Cypress Hill is bigger than us.
