August 25, 2007 (Kingston, ON) — How sweet it is, Canada’s Sam Cools taking the gold at home! Racing against Jill Kintner (USA), who took 5th at the UCI Supercross in Beijing, and the likes of Kim Hyashi (USA) and Amanda Geving (USA), Cools raced with the fire in her eye and drive to win.

Through the motos she played it safe, especially when the track was dampened by a brief rain. In the main she took the lead with Stephanie Barrigan (USA), until Kintner passed Barrigan in the second turn. Kintner put the heat on Cools but Cools kept her focus and strength right to the finish line. It was great to see her race like herself again, and even more exciting to see her beat competitors who competed in Beijing on the Olympic course last week.

In the Elite men’s action, it was Donny Robinson (USA) & Randy Stumpfhauser (USA) who took the lead in the main, until both locked bars & crashed hard coming out of the first turn, causing the other riders to scramble for position. Mike Day (USA) navigated perfectly around the crash and hammered down leading the pack to the finish line, but not without Robert De Wilde (Ned) in his shadow until the finish. It was a tough day for Robinson fresh off his win at the UCI Supercross, who finished eighth, but an even bigger disappointment for 2007 BMX World Champ Kyle Bennett (USA), who was shut out of the main during the semis – but that’s BMX.

The event organizers did an exceptional job getting the track ready after it rained again on Friday night, and the crowd was treated to an awesome day of racing by the world’s best. The next stop on UCI North American Continental race series, round #2, will be at Ridge Meadows, B.C. in September.
