France Takes Gold in Women's Cross Country Mountain Bike, U.S. Grabs Bronze

It was not an easy trail, but Julie Bresset of France won the mountain bike gold medal in her first Olympics Saturday morning. The women's cross country mountain was a tough one as competitors hit piles of rocks, crashed on descents, and even one biker had to walk her bike up a hill. But Bresset dominated the picturesque course at Hadleigh Farm, as Germany's Sabine Spitz wound up with the silver medal, and Georgia Gould of the United States claimed bronze.
