Kaillie Humphries takes break from bobsled with new focus
Kaillie Humphries, the only female bobsled driver with multiple Olympic titles, is taking a break this season but plans to return for not only the 2022 Beijing Winter Games but also the 2026 Olympics if they will be in her native Calgary.
“I have been pushing boundaries for 16 consecutive years, and this season I will be stepping away from high performance competition,” was posted on the 33-year-old’s social media.
Humphries cited her engagement last month and her focus on building a strong marriage foundation.
In PyeongChang, Humphries followed her gold medals at Vancouver 2010 and Sochi 2014 with bronze behind surprise German winner Mariama Jamanka and American rival Elana Meyers Taylor.
