Kaillie Humphries

Kaillie Humphries is the most decorated woman in bobsled history with four Olympic medals and five world titles to her name. Born in Calgary, Canada, Humphries began her athletic career in ski racing. Hampered by injury, she was led to find a new sport on the bobsled track near her home, and her career racing down the ice soon took off. She began as an alternate brakeman in the 2006 Olympics and transitioned to driver, winning gold in the 2010 Vancouver Games for Team Canada. She defended her gold medal in 2014 and earned bronze in 2018. After filing a formal complaint against the coach of the Canadian team, Humphries was released and joined Team USA. After earning her full U.S. citizenship in December 2021, Humphries was cleared to compete for the United States in Beijing, where she earned a gold medal in the inaugural monobob event. She is the only female in Olympic history to win a gold medal for two separate countries.

Humphries is an advocate for equality for women in sports and was one of the athletes who pushed for the addition of a second medal event for women in the Olympics. She still is pushing for women to be allowed to compete in the 4-man sled. Outside of sports, Humphries is an avid tattoo fan, with 60% of her body covered in artwork. She lives in San Diego, California, with her husband, Travis, and her dog, Duchess.
