Here are the medal contenders and top storylines to keep an eye on...
Team USA trio melds experience with newfound success
The United States is bringing an incredibly strong trio to the 2026 Milan Cortina Games, all with a real chance to medal in either monobob or the two-woman event.
Humphries is unequivocally a legend of bobsled. The four-time Olympic medalist won her first two golds with her native Canada before switching over to the United States following a harassment claim and dispute with the Canadian federation.
When Humphries won gold in Beijing wearing the stars and stripes, she became the first woman in Olympic history to win gold medals for two different countries. Now, she’s seeking more Olympic glory at a new stage in her life: motherhood.
“After having a baby, the confidence in who I am as a woman, it’s at a different level,” Humphries told The Athletic in January.
Elana Meyers Taylor is no stranger to standing on an Olympic podium, either. At 41 years old, the mom of two is entering her fifth Games. As a five-time medalist, Meyers Taylor will defend her monobob silver from Beijing 2022 while also seeking out her first Olympic gold.
Meyers Taylor finished in the top 2 in three of the five training sessions she competed in at Cortina Sliding Centre, going fastest in the second heat. Humphries went fastest in the third.
Now, a new face will enter the conversation as Kaysha Love gears up for her second Olympic Games. Love did not compete in monobob at Beijing 2022, but has become a breakout star in the discipline after winning the 2025 world championship. Love ranks No. 9 overall in the world cup standings, while Humphries and Meyers Taylor rank Nos. 4 and 10, respectively.
German duo, Aussie pose threat to U.S.
The current world No. 1 in monobob is Germany's Laura Nolte, who topped Heat 4 of official training. Nolte holds the monobob track record (59.67) at Cortina Sliding Centre, which she set at the test event in November. The 27-year-old finished in 4th at Beijing 2022 but won gold in the two-woman event.
Nolte's teammate Lisa Buckwitz is the world No. 3 and topped the first training run. She, Meyers Taylor and Humphries were the only athletes to post a sub-one-minute time on that run. Buckwitz will be making her Olympic monobob debut on Sunday, but is entering her third Games and won the two-woman gold medal at PyeongChang 2018.
Sandwiched in between is Australian Bree Walker, who is ranked No. 2 in the world in monobob and won three of the seven world cup races heading into the Olympics.
All three could disrupt either Humphries' and Meyers Taylor's medal defenses, or block a potential Team USA sweep.
