US bobsledders back on ice for 1st time since Holcomb death

FILE – In this Dec. 13, 2014, file photo, United States’ pilot Elana Meyers Taylor (front) and brakeman Cherrelle Garrett compete in a women’s bobsled World Cup event in Lake Placid, N.Y. Meyers Taylor did not want it this way. She would have much preferred that the first official training run of the U.S. bobsled season would have gone to the person who traditionally was first down the ice for as long as anyone on the national team could remember. Steven Holcomb had that distinction for years. On Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2017, Meyers Taylor took the first run. (AP Photo/Mike Groll, File)
