Kaillie Humphries is headed into the final day of the major international sliding season with a chance at another world championship.
Humphries is in second place midway through the inaugural womenâs monobob world championship race, trailing Germanyâs Stephanie Schneider by 0.04 seconds after Saturdayâs first two runs in Altenberg, Germany.
The final two runs are Sunday.
âWeâve only had so many runs on this track, and we didnât get our monobob sleds until January,â Humphries said. âWeâre still learning, and on one of the most technically challenging tracks in the world.â
