Report courtesy of Kelly Walker, USA Cycling

Former Dual Slalom World Champion Brian Lopes (Mission Viejo, Calif.) added another gold medal to his collection with a victory in the inaugural event of Four Cross at the 2002 World Mountain Bike Championships Saturday in Kaprun, Austria.

The California native led going into the finals with a solid qualifying round on Friday. Lopes qualified with a time of 34.21 with Eric Carter (Norco, Calif.) and Cedric Gracia right behind in 34.87 and 34.91. In the finals, Carter would have to settle for a bronze after Cedric Gracia (FRA) edged the American at the line to grab the silver.

In the women's event, Downhill queen Anne Caroline Chausson (France) claimed another gold medal, beating Australians Katrina Miller (2nd) and Tai Lee Muxlow (4th) and France's Sabrina Jonnier (3rd) in the final. The four had qualified in that order, getting through the early rounds to meet again in the final.
