Winter Olympians have been sharing what their faith means to them.

Christian US bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor won the gold medal in the women’s monobob at the Winter Olympics in Italy, making her the oldest American woman to win an individual gold medal in the history of the Winter Olympics.

The mother of two children, both of whom are deaf, became a Christian after looking into different religions and has since said that she has to “trust that God has a plan for my life” and that she has been “called to be his representative”.
