Americans Kaillie Humphries and Elana Meyers Taylor went one-two in the last bobsled World Cup before the world championships that start next weekend, taking momentum into the biggest event before the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
Humphries, the two-time Olympic champion for Canada who won the world title last season in her debut as an American, prevailed by .04 of a second over the triple Olympic medalist Meyers Taylor in Igls, Austria.
Humphries’ victory also marked the first World Cup podium in more than three years for her push athlete, dual Olympian Lolo Jones.
