美国选手凯莉·汉弗莱斯·阿姆布斯特尔（Kaillie Humphries Armbruster）或许在她奥运雪车生涯的最后一站，于周六的双人雪车比赛中第六次站上领奖台，追平了奥运纪录。德国选手劳拉·诺尔特（Laura Nolte）则再次夺冠。
诺尔特如今成为两届双人雪车奥运冠军，在米兰-科尔蒂纳冬奥会周六晚间的比赛中，她顶住队友莉萨·布克维茨（Lisa Buckwitz）的压力，成功摘得金牌。
这位连续四届世界杯双人雪车冠军得主，通过与黛博拉·利维（Deborah Levi）搭档，以四程总用时3分48.46秒的成绩，蝉联双人雪车金牌，巩固了自己在该项目中的女王地位。
布克维茨与尼勒·舒滕（Neele Schuten）组队，以3分48.99秒获得银牌；汉弗莱斯·阿姆布斯特尔与贾斯敏·琼斯（Jasmine Jones）——两位同为母亲的美国选手——以3分49.21秒获得铜牌。这是汉弗莱斯·阿姆布斯特尔的第六枚奥运奖牌，追平了美国选手埃拉娜·迈耶斯·泰勒（Elana Meyers Taylor）保持的女子雪车奥运奖牌数纪录。

此外，美国队的凯莎·洛夫（Kaysha Love）——本赛季大部分时间受腘绳肌伤势困扰，且在意大利再次复发——与阿扎里亚·希尔（Azaria Hill）以3分49.71秒排名第五。迈耶斯·泰勒与贾丁·奥布莱恩（Jadin O’Brien）在周五晚间的第二轮滑行中因赛道顶部失控下滑而失利，但周六排名回升，以3分50.49秒并列第七。
德国队目前在本届冬奥会已获得六枚雪车奖牌，美国队三枚，其他国家/地区均无奖牌入账。周日将进行米兰-科尔蒂纳冬奥会最后一项滑行赛事，奖牌差距可能进一步拉大。德国队已包揽双人雪车金牌，在四人雪车项目周六完成前两轮后，同样有望重演包揽金牌的壮举。

算上雪车、钢架雪车和雪橇项目，德国队在米兰-科尔蒂纳冬奥会已收获17枚滑行奖牌，领先其他国家/地区一枚。奥地利5枚，美国与意大利各4枚，英国2枚，拉脱维亚1枚。
双人雪车比赛进入最后一轮时，铜牌之争尤为激烈。
诺尔特在单座雪车比赛中虽最终由迈耶斯·泰勒夺冠，但她在最后一轮前以0.35秒的微弱优势领先布克维茨；布克维茨对汉弗莱斯·阿姆布斯特尔的领先优势为0.19秒，而汉弗莱斯·阿姆布斯特尔仅以0.09秒的优势领先德国选手金·卡利基（Kim Kalicki）争夺铜牌。
卡利基的最终成绩为3分49.36秒，仍不足以超越汉弗莱斯·阿姆布斯特尔。后者跳出雪车，与琼斯相拥并身披美国国旗，确认铜牌已收入囊中。
汉弗莱斯·阿姆布斯特尔的奥运奖牌更新为：3金3铜。
迈耶斯·泰勒41岁，汉弗莱斯·阿姆布斯特尔40岁。迈耶斯·泰勒育有两子，汉弗莱斯·阿姆布斯特尔有一个儿子，两人均表示希望再添新成员。
这意味着周六晚间可能是她们奥运舞台的最后一战——或许也是任何滑行项目的最后一站。
对于迈耶斯·泰勒而言，这是她在国际重大赛事中的第177场比赛（含世界杯、世锦赛、短暂的单座雪车系列赛及奥运会），共斩获78枚奖牌，其中6枚奥运奖牌，且在三个不同的十年中，无论是作为车手还是推滑手都曾夺冠。
而汉弗莱斯·阿姆布斯特尔（曾为加拿大赢得3枚奥运奖牌，现又为美国赢得3枚）的成绩更为惊人：在218场国际重大赛事中获得105枚奖牌，其中49次夺冠。
若这真是她们职业生涯的终点，无论对其一还是两者而言，这场旅程都堪称传奇。
Kaillie Humphries Armbruster of U.S. wins record-tying sixth Olympic bobsled medal; Germany’s Laura Nolte takes gold

American Kaillie Humphries Armbruster, in perhaps her Olympic bobsled finale, found her way to the medal stand for a record-tying sixth time Saturday in the two-woman bobsled, while Germany’s Laura Nolte won gold again.
Nolte is now the back-to-back two-woman Olympic bobsled champion, holding off teammate Lisa Buckwitz to grab gold at the Milan Cortina Games on Saturday night.
Nolte — the winner of the last four World Cup two-woman titles — cemented her status as the sport’s current queen, teaming with Deborah Levi to win her second consecutive two-woman gold medal by finishing four runs in 3 minutes, 48.46 seconds.
Buckwitz, with Neele Schuten in her sled, was second in 3:48.99. Humphries Armbruster and Jasmine Jones — two mothers in the same sled for the U.S. — finished third in 3:49.21. It was the sixth Olympic medal for Humphries Armbruster, tying fellow American Elana Meyers Taylor for the most by any woman in the sport’s history.

Also for the U.S., Kaysha Love — who has been dealing with a hamstring issue for much of the season and had it flare up again in Italy — and Azaria Hill finished fifth in 3:49.71. Meyers Taylor and Jadin O’Brien, who were doomed by a second-heat skid at the top of the track Friday night, got a few spots back in the standings Saturday and finished tied for seventh in 3:50.49.
Germany now has six bobsled medals in these Olympics, while the U.S. has three and the rest of the world has zero. The divide might get bigger on Sunday in the final sliding event of the Milan Cortina Games; Germany, which already swept the two-man race, is in position to do the same thing in four-man after Saturday’s opening two heats of that competition.

And Germany is now up to 17 sliding medals, counting bobsled, skeleton and luge, at Milan Cortina — one more than the rest of the world. Austria has five, the U.S. now has four along with Italy, Britain has two and Latvia has one.
The two-woman race was basically for the bronze going into the final run.
Nolte — who had the lead, albeit a much smaller one, going into the final heat of the monobob competition that Meyers Taylor ended up winning — led Buckwitz by 0.35 seconds going into the last heat. Buckwitz’s lead over Humphries Armbruster was 0.19 seconds, and Humphries Armbruster was only 0.09 seconds up on Germany’s Kim Kalicki in the race for the bronze.
Kalicki’s final time: 3:49.36. It wasn’t enough to catch Humphries Armbruster, who hopped out of the sled and wrapped herself and Jones in the American flag, knowing the medal was theirs.
Humphries Armbruster’s updated Olympic medal count: three golds, three bronzes.
Meyers Taylor is 41, Humphries Armbruster is 40. Meyers Taylor is a mother of two, Humphries Armbruster has one son, and both women are talking about how they would like to add another baby to their families.
That means Saturday night might have been the last on the Olympic stage for them — and maybe on any sliding stage.
It was the 177th race — counting World Cups, world championships, the short-lived monobob World Series and the Olympics — for Meyers Taylor at the major international level. She has 78 medals from those races, six of them coming in the Olympics, and was a winner either as a driver or pusher in three different decades.
And for Humphries Armbruster, who won three Olympic medals for Canada and now has three more for the U.S., the numbers are even more gaudy: 105 medals in 218 major international races, with 49 of them victories.
If this is the end, for either or for both of them, what a ride it was.
