Canadian wins bobsled opener

Kaillie Humphries went to bobsled school in Lake Placid, N.Y. She apparently paid attention in class. The two-time reigning Olympic champion from Canada got her season off to a winning start, teaming with Melissa Lotholz to win gold at Mount Van Hoevenberg in the World Cup opener. Humphries’ two-run time was 1 minute, 54.40 seconds. She edged longtime friend and U.S. rival

Elana Meyers Taylor, who paired with Lauren Gibbs to finish in 1:54:43.
