BEIJING, China — An Olympian with Arizona ties is having to train in a unique way to start off the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
Elana Meyers Taylor is a hopeful to medal in the women’s bobsled and the women’s monobob, but she must continue to train to make those medals a reality.

Due to testing positive for COVID-19 after landing in China, she must do so confined to her room. Lots of walking and biking are Taylor's main ways to train while isolated, and she is sharing her creative training routine on her Twitter page.
"Doing everything possible to recover and still be ready to race," Taylor tweeted.
Taylor is not only separated from her usual training, but she's also separated from those she most loves.
She recently shared a video showing her waving and smiling at her son, saying she hopes for "negative tests soon."
