History for Kaillie Humphries, who wins Olympic monobob gold for U.S.
Humphries is monobob’s first Olympic champion, finishing off a shockingly one-sided competition at the Beijing Games on Monday. She completed four runs in 4 minutes, 19.27 seconds to lead a gold-silver finish for the U.S. women’s program.
Humphries became the first woman to win Olympic gold medals for two different countries, and the first Olympian to win gold for both the U.S. and Canada. She also is the first woman to win three golds in bobsledding, with a chance for a fourth later this week in the two-person event. Kaillie Humphries, of United States, drives during the women's monobob heat 2 at the 2022 Winter Olympics, Sunday, Feb. 13, 2022, in the Yanqing district of Beijing.
Meyers Taylor is now a four-time medalist, giving her the most in USA Bobsled history — breaking a tie with three others, the great Steven Holcomb among them — and tying her for sixth most in U.S. Winter Olympic history. And it was fitting that Humphries and Meyers Taylor finished 1-2, since they were the ones who championed a second medal event being added to the women’s bobsled Olympic program.
