American bobsled women gave us several tear-jerking moments while the German men continued their reign of dominance.
American duo Kaillie Humphries and Elana Meyers Taylor cemented themselves in history as two of the first medalists in the event. Humphries jumped out to a commanding lead and never looked back while Meyers Taylor mounted a thrilling come from behind win in the final run to jump from bronze to silver.
The three teams finished 1.69 seconds apart led by pilot Francesco Friedrich and Thorsten Margis. Their third heat run set a track record of 58.99 seconds. Meyers Taylor and Sylvia Hoffman snuck onto the podium, denying the German woman a sweep of the two-woman event, en route to Meyers Taylor's record fifth Olympic medal.
