- See Less - By the time Oakley’s Katerina Nash was 18, she had competed in three Olympic Games in two disciplines. Nash was born to compete, but you wouldn’t know it from her pleasant and humble demeanor. She moved to the United States from the Czech Republic in January of 2000 when she received a cross-country ski scholarship from the University of Nevada, Reno. She skied for her native Czech Republic in two Winter Olympics, all the while mountain biking in the summers. When she ran out of college eligibility in 2002, she switched to mountain biking and again earned the chance to represent her native country. This time it was in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, where she placed 19th in the cross-country mountain bike event. With her focus shifted to mountain bike racing, Nash hopes to place in the top 10 at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Nash currently lives in a small town near Lake Tahoe. “I have everything I love here,†says Nash of the small Lake Tahoe community she calls home. “Cool shops, organic markets and endless hills in every direction. For me, small towns mean big dreams.
Round number three of the USGP of Cyclocross started under dark clouds this afternoon in Louisville, Kentucky. The women were first off the line with Katerina Nash taking the front spot into the grass. She spent the next three quarters of an hour extending that advantage on her way to the win and the overall series lead. Behind, teammate Georgia Gould rode alone to a respectable second place finish. Perhaps most impressive, Amy Dombroski overcame a poor first lap to ride her way on the the podium in 3rd (a career best for the Vermont native.) Alison Dunlap faded to 4th just ahead of Meredith Miller in 5th.
