CORTINA d'AMPEZZO, Italy — It was the two-woman bobsled teams Saturday night, and Team USA came away with a bronze medal.
Kaillie Armbruster Humphries and Jasmine Jones celebrated after their fourth and final run, which put them in a position to medal. This is the second bronze of the Games for Armbruster Humphries, who also won earlier this week in the monobob.
Kaysha Love, from Herriman, and her partner Azaria Hill finished the day in fifth place.
After the race, the athletes said they have now checked the box of making it to the Olympics, and they are looking forward to growing from here with medal aspirations in the future. For today, though, they leave with their heads held high.
"I'm really proud of us," Love said. "I think at the end of the day, our expectations are really high. At the end of the day, we really wanted to just do the best, and our best is medal contending. Realistically,in the grand scheme of things, I thought we did really, really well."
"I feel like Kaysha and I both left it all out on the ice," Hill said. "We executed what we've been training, and we did everything that we could."
Rounding out Team USA was Elana Meyers Taylor and Jaden O'Brien. The pair finished the day in seventh, missing the podium, but completing an amazing comeback from 12th.
"I knew we had to come out and lay something down," Meyers Taylor said. "I knew we had to show everybody that we would fight. I came out here and justtried to fight from start to finish. The last run wasn't exactly what I wanted, but still, we fought from beginning to end."
For Meyers Taylor, this was her fifth Olympic Games. Though she did not medal in the two-woman event, she is not going home empty-handed. She won gold earlier this week in the monobob in Cortina.
O'Brien is a successful track athlete who we may see competing in the Summer Games in two years. She was recruited to bobsled just five month ago.
"It's possible to achieve your dreams," she said. "Just keep fighting. I think that's a lesson that I've learned – and something E and I tried to show this weekend: fight. Keep going after your dreams."
