- 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.
Sunday's round four of the USGP of Cyclocross was everything it was hyped up to be. The sun came out in full force and dried up yesterday's soggy track into a thrilling cyclocross speedway. Elite women left the line at 1:45 local time, and at 1:46 Katerina Nash left the rest of the field on her way to another dominating victory in Kentucky. Three groups followed in her wake. Nash's teammates Georgia Gould and Alison Dunlap joined up in second and third. Sue Butler and Alison Sydor chased together in fourth and fifth, while Vermont's Amy Dombroski led a large group of sixth through eleventh. While the rest of the top ten seemed to stand still, Dombroski leapfrogged her way from group to group, eventually joining Dunlap and Gould in the fight for the podium. With a lap to go, Dombroski overcame the two on one of Luna and capped off her best ever weekend of cyclocross with a second place finish ahead os Alison Dunlap in third, and Gould in fourth. Syder finished fifth and Butler sixth.
