Kaillie Humphries wins monobob’s debut at bobsled world championships

Kaillie Humphries won the first world title in monobob, which debuts at the Olympics next year, to complete a sweep of the women’s events at the world bobsled and skeleton championships.

Humphries, a 2010 and 2014 Olympic champion for Canada who switched to the U.S. in 2019, prevailed by a half-second over German Stephanie Schneider.

Another German, Laura Nolte, took bronze, combining times from four runs in Altenberg, Germany.

Eight days earlier, Humphries and Lolo Jones won the two-woman world title.

Next year, Humphries can tie the record for Olympic bobsled gold medals.
