She has the won the USA Cycling Cyclocross National Championships Elite Women's title every year from 2004 to 2008. Since she takes part in Paralympic events she can not enter any bicycle races which award UCI points. Since she was unable to take part in major races before the National Championship, her win was a surprise to other racers, fans and journalists.

In 2007 she became the first American woman to podium in the Cyclo-cross World Championships (held in the Cyclo-cross capital of the world that year—Belgium) where she won silver between a French duo composed of Maryline Salvetat (who took the gold) and Laurence Leboucher (who won the bronze). In the 2007–2008 season she began racing professionally in UCI races as she no longer had her Paralympic obligations. In the beginning of the season she routinely has won the elite women's races in the US and on November 11, in only her third ever, she won her first World Cup Race in Pijnacker, Netherlands. Compton won by a margin of 54 seconds ahead of race favorite Daphny Van Den Brand who had won the previous World Cup race in Kalmthout.

In Paralympic events she rides a tandem with a blind partner Karissa Whitsell. Katie, the sighted team member, pilots and pedals the tandem in the captain position while Karissa rides in the rear, stoker, position on their tandem. They were dominant in the 2004 Games, winning medals in every event they entered and setting a world record in the 3 km pursuit event.]]> http://c0179261.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/520665_991onfszM3UIP4sIv3fl_m.jpg http://www.cyclingdirt.org/rss/speaker/2782-Katie-Compton en-us Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:33:21 GMT Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:33:21 GMT http://www.cyclingdirt.org/speaker/2782-Katie-Compton/video/590132-Elite-Women-Cyclocross-World-Championships-Koksijde-2012 2 Daphny Van Den Brand (Netherlands) 0:00:37

Thomas van Bracht writes... Marianne Vos (Rabobank Ladies Team) won today's race in Hoogerheide, her 15th win in a row out of 16 races. Behind her, Daphny van den Brand, (AA-Cycling team) was second, just before Katerina Nash. After the start, there was a huge crash, knocking out both Caroline Mani from France and Sophie de Boer from the Netherlands with serious injuries. Vos then broke away alone on the first lap and stayed away to win alone. Behind her, a group of three chases formed who were competed for the two remaining minor places. On the last lap, Daphne van den Brand tied up second place by attacking and crossing the line alone and thus ensuring a win in the GC.]]> Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:01:00 CST http://www.cyclingdirt.org/speaker/2782-Katie-Compton/video/581881-Womens-Race-Hoogerheide-World-Cup-Highlights http://www.cyclingdirt.org/speaker/2782-Katie-Compton/video/575368-Elite-Women-Full-Race-Archive-USA-Cyclocross-National-Championhsips-2012 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:27:00 CST http://www.cyclingdirt.org/speaker/2782-Katie-Compton/video/575368-Elite-Women-Full-Race-Archive-USA-Cyclocross-National-Championhsips-2012 http://www.cyclingdirt.org/speaker/2782-Katie-Compton/video/566256-Elite-Women-Highlights-USA-Cyclocross-Nationals-2012-HD Thu, 12 Jan 2012 06:25:00 CST http://www.cyclingdirt.org/speaker/2782-Katie-Compton/video/566256-Elite-Women-Highlights-USA-Cyclocross-Nationals-2012-HD http://www.cyclingdirt.org/speaker/2782-Katie-Compton/video/566207-Whos-1-Cyclocross-Rankings-01112012 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 10:13:00 CST http://www.cyclingdirt.org/speaker/2782-Katie-Compton/video/566207-Whos-1-Cyclocross-Rankings-01112012 http://www.cyclingdirt.org/speaker/2782-Katie-Compton/video/563059-Elite-Women-USA-Cyclocross-National-Championships-2012 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 21:38:00 CST http://www.cyclingdirt.org/speaker/2782-Katie-Compton/video/563059-Elite-Women-USA-Cyclocross-National-Championships-2012 http://www.cyclingdirt.org/speaker/2782-Katie-Compton/video/562605-Katie-Compton-Wins-2012-USA-Cyclocross-National-Championships Sun, 08 Jan 2012 19:26:00 CST http://www.cyclingdirt.org/speaker/2782-Katie-Compton/video/562605-Katie-Compton-Wins-2012-USA-Cyclocross-National-Championships http://www.cyclingdirt.org/speaker/2782-Katie-Compton/video/556935-Whos-1-Cyclocross-Rankings-01042012

Belgian veteran Sven Nys (Landbouwkrediet) captured a hard-fought win over Belgian Champion Niels Albert (BKCP-Powerplus) in the Elite Men category. The 35 year-old is the new leader in the World Cup rankings. Dutch star Marianne Vos (Nederland Bloeit) dominated in the women's race, which was raced in snowy conditions. Her compatriot Daphny van den Brand (AA Drink -- Nederland Bloeit) remains overall leader in the World Cup standings.

French Champion Francis Mourey (FDJ), Aurélien Duval (France), Tom Meeusen (Telenet-Fidea) and Klaas Vantornout (Sunweb-Revor) led a large group through the first laps on the muddy course in chilly Namur. During the fourth of eight laps, Albert accelerated. Nys followed his example with an attack on the fifth lap. Only Vantornout remained on Nys' wheel. A little later Nys flatted and was caught by an unleashed Stybar. The Czech soon steamed through to neutralize Vantornout's advantage. For a brief moment there were six riders in the group, but Pauwels punctured and lost time. Nys seized his moment to take the lead and set the pace up front. Pauwels didn't bridge back up and in the last lap it seemed like Albert was heading for the win. Nevertheless Nys closed the small gap on the Belgian Champion and with a last effort he reached the finish area solo. Albert was runner-up at 5s ahead of Vantornout, Pauwels, Stybar and Meeusen. The fourth place for Pauwels was just not enough to keep his World Cup leader's jersey, which is now in Nys' possession.

It started snowing just before the Women's race but that didn't bother Marianne Vos. The 24 year-old World Champion sped away at the halfway mark of the first lap. The battle for the win was soon over for US Champion Katherine Compton (Rabobank-Giant Off-Road Team), who dropped her chain right after the start. Only Lucie Chainel-Lefevre (FRA) was able to keep in touch with the World Champion on the technical course in Namur during the first half of the race. However, just before the end of the second lap Vos opened up a gap of more than 20s.

Vos made few mistakes on the slippery slopes of the citadel and steamed through to a more than convincing second win in the World Cup. Chainel struggled towards the end but she was able to hold on for second place ahead of a well-returned Compton. Despite finishing only 8th, Van den Brand remains leader in the World Cup ahead of Compton.

The next round of the Patrick UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup will be held in Heusden-Zolder (BEL) where all four categories will race on the former F1 car circuit.]]> Wed, 21 Dec 2011 22:04:55 CST http://www.cyclingdirt.org/speaker/2782-Katie-Compton/video/547876-Namur-World-Cup-Highlights http://www.cyclingdirt.org/speaker/2782-Katie-Compton/video/547031-Whos-1-Cyclocross-Rankings-12212011
