The U.S. assured itself of the victory with the fastest time on the final run, 57.87 seconds. Its combined time for the four runs was three minutes, 48.26 seconds, 0.35 seconds ahead of the Germans. "It's such a huge relief," the 35-year-old Humphries said. "This was a giant team effort. To be able to cross the finish line and see that number one and know everything worked according to plan is the biggest relief ever. There's a huge wave of happiness and elation that comes over you. It's super cool to share this with Lolo and with Team USA." Humphries also won last year's world championship in the event, tying the retired German bobsledder Sandra Kiriasis with three world championships.
