The U.S. National Team opened the 2007 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships on Tuesday by winning the U.Sandrsquo; first-ever medal in the Team Relay. The foursome of Georgia Gould, Ethan Gilmour Sam Schultz and Adam Craig joined forces to claim the bronze medal behind the winning team from Switzerland and runner-up Poland. The Team Relay, which features four laps of the Cross Country circuit contested by an elite male, elite female, U23 male and junior male from each nation was added to the World Championship program in 1999 in Are, Sweden. There, the U.S. turned in a fourth-place performance, the highest placing for an American entry until Tuesday.
