American bobsledder Kaillie Humphries Armbruster won her record-tying sixth Olympic medal in the two-woman bobsled event at the Milan Cortina Games, finishing third behind Germany's Laura Nolte, who won her second consecutive gold medal, and teammate Lisa Buckwitz. Humphries Armbruster, who has now won three Olympic medals for Canada and three for the U.S., may have competed in her final Olympics, as she and fellow American Elana Meyers Taylor, who also won six Olympic medals, are both 40 and have expressed interest in starting families. Germany dominated the bobsled events, winning six medals, while the U.S. won three. The German team's success may continue in the four-man bobsled event, where they are poised to sweep the medals.
