Kaillie Armbruster Humphries collected her second bronze medal of the Milan-Cortina Games on Saturday, piloting her two-woman bobsled to a spot on the medal stand at the Cortina Sliding Centre.
Humphries and brakewoman Jasmine Jones, a former USC track star, finished third behind a pair of German sleds. The medal was the 31st overall for the U.S. in these Games, two better than Italy. Norway has won a record 40.
Laura Nolte and brakewoman Deborah Levi, the reigning Olympic champions, won gold again ahead of Lisa Buckwitz and Neele Schuten. The Americans’ four-run time of 3 minutes and 49.21 seconds was .75 seconds behind the winners and .37 seconds ahead of Germany’s third sled, piloted by Kim Kaliciki.

Kaysha Love and Azaria Hill, former track teammates at Nevada Las Vegas, finished fifth. Hill, from Santa Clarita, is the daughter of Olympic medalists Virgil Hill (boxing) and Denean Howard (track).
