Kaillie Humphries’ name is all over the bobsleigh history books. At Vancouver 2010, she and brakewoman Heather Moyse became the first Canadian women to win Olympic bobsleigh gold. The duo broke the start record twice and the Whistler Sliding Centre track record three times enroute to defeating countrywomen Helen Upperton and Shelley-Ann Brown.
At Sochi 2014, the duo became the first women to ever repeat as Olympic bobsleigh champions, overcoming a 0.11 second deficit in the fourth and final run to move up from second place and win the gold medal by a tenth of a second. In recognition of the accomplishment, Humphries and Moyse were named Canadian flag bearers for the Closing Ceremony. Humphries was also named the 2014 winner of the Lou Marsh Award as Canadian athlete of the year.
At PyeongChang 2018, she was pushed by Olympic hurdler-turned-brakewoman Phylicia George and moved up from fifth place after the first two heats to win the bronze medal, making Humphries Canada’s most decorated Olympic bobsledder.
Humphries switched from representing Canada to representing the United States for the 2019 to 2020 season. Since joining Team USA, she's won three world titles: the two-woman titles in 2020 and 2021, and the inaugural women's monobob title in 2021.
