The United States captured the gold medals in the cross-country mixed team relay on Wednesday in Pal Arinsal at the UCI MTB World Championships. Christopher Blevins closed the gap on the eventual silver medallist French team in the final lap to secure the top spot, competing with teammates Brayden Johnson, Nicholas Konecny, Haley Batten, Vida Lopez de San Roman, and Madigan Munro. France finished three seconds back for second place, with Italy 1:31 back for third.

The racing for the cross-country titles across the team relay (XCR), short-track (XCC) and Olympic disciplines (XCO), with E-MTB and downhill titles also up for grabs. The races will play out at an altitude of around 2,000m, with the reduced oxygen levels adding just another challenge to the packed field and course with testing climbs, off-camber trails, dusty rock gardens and root-lined wood sections.
