Olympic bobsled gold and silver medalists Kaillie Humphries and Elana Meyers Taylor made history last season when they became the first women to pilot sleds in World Cup four-man races.
Humphries and Meyers Taylor each drove sleds with three men’s push athletes after four-man was declared gender-neutral.
To start 2016, Humphries is taking another unprecedented step. She will pilot an all-female sled against the men in World Cup races. The Canadian sled will debut in Lake Placid, N.Y., on Saturday.
“I still think, with a proper men’s crew, I can be one of the best in the world,” Humphries said, according to the Toronto Sun.
