Kaillie Humphries and Jasmine Jones secured bronze for Team USA in the two-woman bobsleigh at Milano Cortina 2026, extending America's remarkable medal streak in the event.
The American duo delivered a solid performance to claim third place on the podium, maintaining the United States' perfect record in women's bobsleigh since the discipline was added to the Olympic program. Team USA has now medaled in every Winter Games featuring the two-woman event, a streak that began in Salt Lake City 2002.
Humphries, competing under the American flag, added another Olympic medal to her impressive collection. The veteran pilot has established herself as one of the most decorated bobsleigh athletes in Olympic history, with multiple medals across different Games. Her partnership with Jones proved effective on the challenging Milano Cortina track, where precision and speed are essential for success.
USA's Two-Woman Bobsleigh Dominance
The bronze medal continues a legacy of American excellence in women's bobsleigh that spans over two decades. Since the event's Olympic debut in 2002, the United States has consistently produced world-class teams capable of competing for medals on the sport's biggest stage. This consistency reflects the strength of the American bobsleigh program and its ability to develop elite athletes across multiple Olympic cycles.
Jones, pushing behind Humphries, played a crucial role in the medal-winning run. The pusher's explosive start and technical execution through the course contributed significantly to the team's podium finish. In two-woman bobsleigh, the synergy between pilot and brakeman is critical, and the American pair demonstrated the chemistry needed to compete at the highest level.
