US EditionLove, Humphries-Armbruster, Meyers Taylor lead U.S. World Cup bobsled team headed into Olympic year
The 24-person roster includes Olympic champions and newcomers, selected from 69 competitors, with training underway ahead of the World Cup circuit beginning in November.
- The United States named a 24-person bobsled World Cup roster on Saturday to compete in the Olympic season starting mid-November in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
- The team was chosen based on multiple factors, including results from a recent push competition at their Lake Placid, New York facility, where the initial group of 69 athletes was reduced to roughly one-third for the final roster.
- The roster includes top athletes like Olympic medalists Elana Meyers Taylor, Kaillie Humphries-Armbruster, World champion Kaysha Love, and newcomers such as push athlete Jadin O'Brien, a former NCAA pentathlon champion.
- Head coach Chris Fogt remarked that the selection process was intensely competitive due to the strong group of athletes preparing for the upcoming Olympic season, and he conveyed confidence in those chosen for the team.
- The team will start on-ice training next month in Park City, Utah, with the official nomination of the Olympic team planned for January 19, while possible adjustments to the World Cup roster may occur in mid-December.
