Jill Kintner

Jill Kintner, born on 24 October 1981 and from Burien, Washington, is an American racer who has worked across several bike disciplines: BMX, mountain cross (four-cross) and downhill mountain biking. Her BMX years ran from 1995 to 2002 and again in 2007 and 2008, and she was Pro Girls World Champion in 2002 after a youth career of race wins and national titles. After a switch to mountain cross in 2004, she returned to BMX in 2007 at the urging of Mike King, then director of BMX for USA Cycling, aiming for the 2008 Olympics. She secured the lone automatic women's spot on the US team by placing sixth at the UCI World Championships in Taiyuan on 2 June 2008, and won the bronze medal in BMX racing at the 2008 Olympics on 19 August.
