Kaillie Humphries Wins Bobsled Gold After Submitting Harassment Complaint

We posted 4 weeks ago about Kaillie Humphries, who is a new immigrant to the US and got permission to compete for the U.S. Winter Olympic team.  Well, congratulations are in order, because Kaillie won gold in the new monobob event.  Moreover, she became one of the oldest gold medalists at these Games at age 36.
