Kaillie Humphries, Lolo Jones win historic bobsled world championship

Kaillie Humphries and Lolo Jones won the world bobsled championships, a record-breaking fourth gold for Humphries and arguably the biggest title of Jones’ two-sport career.

Humphries, with Jones as her push athlete, became the first four-time world champion in two-woman bobsled.

The duo prevailed by .35 of a second over Germans Kim Kalicki and Ann-Christin Strack combining times from four runs in Altenberg, Germany, on Friday and Saturday.

Jones, one of 10 U.S. athletes to compete in both the Summer and Winter Olympics, earned her first world title in an Olympic program event at age 38.
