Kaillie Humphries didn’t need long to answer when asked who she considers to be among the best drivers in bobsled history. The names aren’t exactly surprising: Andre Lange and Francesco Friedrich of Germany, Pierre Lueders of Canada, Steven Holcomb of the U.S.
She didn’t put herself on that list.
A win this weekend might leave Humphries no choice but to consider herself part of that elite club. Humphries is the defending women’s world bobsled champion and will team up with Lolo Jones this weekend at Altenberg, Germany, in a bid to win her fourth title — something no female pilot has ever done.
