He previously won two gold medals in Canadian colors, but is already strengthening the American team Kaillie Humphries he won by a huge margin on Monday’s race day at the Beijing Olympics.
The 36-year-old classman filed a complaint with the Canadian federation in 2018 because his former coach allegedly abused him both verbally and emotionally. However, during the proceedings, the investigating judge found no evidence of harassment, so Humphries indicated that he no longer wanted to compete on the Canadian team.
Humphries took the lead more than a second after Sunday’s first two races and then further increased his lead in the third on Monday, so as to close, a cautious slip fit in, so he beat the field to a rip-off. It is an added joy for Americans to have their silver medal as a compatriot, Elana Meyers Taylor obtained it.
