Feb 18, 2021 U.S. bobsledder Kaillie Humphries celebrates her gold-medal World Championships win in Altenberg, Germany Sunday, Feb. 14 in the monobob event. (Provided photo — IBSF) U.S. bobsled pilot Kaillie Humphries earned a gold medal in the two-woman event with Lolo Jones on Feb. 6 during the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation’s World Championships at Altenberg, Germany. That win was supposed to happen on the home track in Lake Placid. The 2021 World Championships were moved from Lake Placid to Altenberg, Germany due to the coronavirus pandemic, essentially robbing New York’s Olympic village from this historic moment. Exactly 90 years ago – on Feb. 6, 1931 — bobsledding made its competitive debut at the Mount Van Hoevenberg run, built for the III Olympic Winter Games in 1932. (The Lake Placid Olympic Museum recognizes Dec. 25, 1930 as the big historic moment on that run since it was the first time passengers rode a bobsled down it.)
