Meyers Taylor sits in 2nd, Armbruster Humphries in 3rd, and Love in 5th after first two heats

CORTINA, ITALY (February 15, 2026) - Women’s Olympic Monobob racing kicked off today with the first two heats of competition.

Elana Meyers Taylor currently sits in 2nd place with a two-run time of 1:59.34. “I feel pretty good,” shared Meyers Taylor about her runs. “I’m really excited about my push, wasn’t so excited about my second drive, but it’s a tricky track, and things happen […] I’m banking on coming here tomorrow and putting two solid runs together and challenging Nolte for the gold.”

Armbruster Humphries is currently in 3rd with a combined time of 1:59.43. “There’s a lot of room to make mistakes on this track. The ice conditions are changing every single run. I’ve got to work real hard at the start; I’m trying to keep up with mid-20-year-olds, and I’m still only a year and a half post-partum, so there’s definitely still room for improvement, but each and every run I take it for what it is. I try to just be better at the start, better in the drives, keep focused, and you know, we’ll see - God’s Will will be what it is.” she shared in the Mixed Zone.

Kaysha Love is currently in 5th with a combined time of 2:00.01 after two runs with very strong starts. In Heat 1, she tied for the fastest start of the heat with Cynthia Appiah from Team Canada with a time of 5.41s, and had the second fastest start in Heat 2 with a time of 5.37s.

Women’s Monobob will conclude tomorrow, February 16 with the final two heats of racing, scheduled for 7:00pm CET and 9:06pm CET.
