A historic first in every sense, given that the debut of the women's monobob at the Olympic Games sees the triumph of an authentic lady of winter disciplines.
Kaillie Humphries, already gold in the duo bob at Vancouver 2010 and Sochi 2014, today became the first Olympic champion of this discipline, at 36 and the first woman on top of the world for two different countries, as Kaillie she has been a naturalized American for 3 years, having won the previous gold medals for Canada.
Crazy his domination over the gut of Yanqing (where between sledding and skeleton, so far only Germany had won), with a 1 "54 margin over compatriot Elana Meyers Taylor, equally splendid silver since it arrived after a ten-day quarantine for a positivity at Covid, with the Canadian Christine De Bruin bronze. Fifteenth final place for the only blue in the race, Giada Andreutti.
From 13.05 today, the battle for the title of the men's two-way bob begins, with the first two runs in the program and Francesco Friedrich as the obligatory favorite.
