Two-woman bobsleigh: the women looking to tame the Flying Snow Dragon in Beijing 2022

The female bobsleigh competition in Beijing 2022 will reach a climax in the two-woman event after the monobob made a stunning debut at these Olympic Winter Games.

The format will change, but the protagonists are the same, with monobob champion Kaillie Humphries and runner-up Elana Meyers Taylor of the United States leading the charge.

But the dynamism will change as the pilots will now be joined by push athletes who could see the formbook play a decisive role at the Yanqing National Sliding Centre.

Buoyed by a historic first monobob Olympic gold medal, Humphries will fancy her chances of winning a third title in the two-woman bobsleigh. The most successful female bobsleigh pilot in Olympic history already has four medals to her name and is on the cusp of making it five. A fourth gold would see her equal the record with Germans Kevin Kuske and Andre Lange.

She claimed the top step of the podium in the two-woman bob in Vancouver 2010 and Sochi 2014 and bronze in PyeongChang 2018, representing Canada.

Now flying the American flag, Humphries will be looking to give her adopted country their second gold medal in the women's bobsleigh competition in Beijing 2022.

"This is huge. I still remember back in 2002, the first women who won: Jill Bakken and Vonetta Flowers (USA). I hope in the future young girls are going to go, 'I remember Kaillie', and then they get involved," Humphries said after becoming the first Olympic monobob champion.

"They now have two opportunities (monobob and two-woman bobsleigh) and hopefully even more opportunities to win more medals in the sport. That's super cool, and I will continue to fight for that. The women before me have allowed this to happen, and I want to make sure that continues for all
