BEIJING — Usually at the midway point of an Olympic women’s bobsled race, the standings are super close.Kaillie Humphries’ first day of Olympic competition for the United States was a runaway, putting the American in complete control of the inaugural women’s monobob race. She leads Canada’s Christine de Bruin — her former teammate — by 1.04 seconds, by far the biggest halftime lead in Olympic women’s bobsled history.The standings suggest otherwise.
“It’s a huge lead,” Nolte said of Humphries’ margin. “She was the one with the fewest mistakes, or nearly no mistakes.” The Olympic experience, so far, has not gone as Meyers Taylor wanted. She tested positive for COVID-19 and had to give up the role as U.S. flagbearer for the opening ceremony. She was isolated and separated from her family. Her son, who turns 2 later this month, is usually by her side almost constantly; their visits have been limited to just a few minutes a day, if that, in Beijing because of virus protocols.
