Kaillie Humphries set for more gender-breaking history in bobsled World Cup

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.
