Canada's Kaillie Humphries is golden again in Whistler.
The Calgary pilot and brakeman Melissa Lotholz of Barrhead, Alta., raced to a two-run time of one minute 45.37 seconds to win the women's World Cup bobsled race on Saturday, twice besting the Whistler Sliding Centre track record.
The pair's first run broke the standing track record with a 52.71-second finish. They then bettered that mark in their second run, finishing in 52.66 seconds.
Humphries won Olympic gold in 2010 at the Whistler Sliding Centre with Heather Moyse and now owns three golds, a silver and a bronze in World Cup competition at the 16-corner, 1,450-metre ice chute.
American Jamie Greubel Poser finished second in 1:45.53, while Christina Hengster of Austria was third in 1:45.64.
Humphries and Lotholz top the overall standings this season thanks with four golds, a silver and a bronze through six races.
Humphries now has 36 career World Cup medals, including 17 golds.
