BEIJING (AP) — This road started in 2014 when Kaillie Humphries and Elana Meyers Taylor started driving four-man bobsleds against men with hopes of getting a second medal event for women added to the Olympic program. They got their wish in 2018. And now it truly becomes reality for the top American pilots and the other best women’s bobsledders in the world. Monobob has only one woman in the sled. The inaugural Olympic monobob event starts Sunday with reigning world champion Humphries and reigning Monobob World Series overall champion Meyers Taylor expected to be among the top contenders.
