Buffs at the Olympics- Detail schedules, information and race discussion

Just switched over to the Women's Mountain Bike, and one of the 1st things I hear the announcers say is that Buff alum Katerinia Nash is "in the mix".
 
At the 2.5 lap time check, looks like Ms. Nash was in 6th, I believe it said she was 16- 17 seconds behind a 3 person lead group.
 
At the 3 lap mark (which is per the announcers the 1/2 way mark to the finish), Ms. Nash is still around 17 seconds back in 6th, and is now part of a group of 4 riders just joined together which will now try to reel in the 3 leaders.
 
At the end of lap 4, Ms. Nash is ~58 seconds back of the leaders in 6th place and in a group with 2 other riders. One of the 3 person lead group fell behind the lead group and is only ~30 seconds ahead of Ms. Nash's chase group, so I'd think (admittingly knowing NOTHING about mountain biking) she at minimum has a chance to be in contention for a bronze medal by the end if she's feeling strong.
 
At the bell, a couple Canadians (including a favorite) took out ahead from Ms. Nash's group, so the Buff is 19 seconds behind the current 3rd place racer. Still, she is in 5th so, even if she can't gain a couple places, what a great race. One more lap to go.
 
At the finish, Katerinia Nash does end up where she was, in 5th. What a great job by her and all 4 female Olympic Buffs, all with top 10 finishes in the Olympics!!!!

Note- We'll be hearing more from the 2 runner Buffs (Coburn and Simpson) pretty soon, as I believe they are both in Paris preparing for next Saturday's Diamond League meet there.
