Germany's Nolte, Buckwitz lead USA's Humphries at two-woman bobsled midpoint
Kaillie Humphries was the fastest of the three American sleds after Run 2 of the two-woman bobsled competition, settling into 3rd place behind Germany’s Laura Nolte and Lisa Buckwitz.
Humphries may not have been on the two-woman podium at Beijing 2022, but she is no stranger to excellence in the event. The 40-year-old won gold at Vancouver 2010 and Sochi 2014, representing her native Canada. Now, she’s ever closer to claiming her first two-woman medal as a member of Team USA and sits 0.23 seconds out of gold medal position.
Defending Olympic gold medalist Nolte started first as the top-seeded sled and set a track record, but Humphries and her push athlete Jasmine Jones bested the Germans straight away by just 0.05 seconds.

“Go Jasmine, run your race,” someone yelled, waving an American flag during a watch party at Morelands at Waterworks in South Greensburg.
Their screams grew louder the faster Jones went — 35 mph to 81.19 mph — in the first heat. The sprinter-turned-bobsled brakeman, and pilot Kaillie Armbruster Humphries, finished in 56.92 seconds, a track record, for the first heat and 57.24 for the second heat.

CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP/WNDU) – Notre Dame alum Jadin O’Brien and pilot Elana Meyers Taylor sit in 12th place after the first two heats of the two-woman bobsled competition, 1.2 seconds off the top time.
O’Brien, a three-time NCAA track champion at Notre Dame with eyes on the Los Angeles Games in 2028, is the push athlete for Meyers Taylor, who won gold in the monobob. The pair were in fifth place after the first heat before going into a skid at the top of the track in their second run.
“Sometimes, that’s just how it goes,” O’Brien said after her Olympic debut. “You’re sliding on ice.”
