Georgia Gould (born January 5, 1980, in Baltimore, Maryland) is an American professional mountain bike, cyclocross competitor, and Olympian (2008, 2012). She has earned five career national championships – four in cross-country mountain bike in 2006, 2010, 2011 and 2012, and one in short track mountain bike in 2009. In 2012, Gould won the bronze medal at the London Olympic Games in cross country mountain bike. Since 2006 Gould has been employed by the LUNA Chix Pro Team. She currently resides in Fort Collins, Colorado with her husband, Dusty LaBarr.
Every year since 2006 Georgia Gould has finished on the podium of the USA Mountain Bike National Championships in either cross-country, short track, or both. She earned national titles in cross-country in 2006, 2010, 2011 and 2012, and short track in 2009. In 2007, Gould became only the second woman in history to sweep all six of the USA National Mountain Bike Series races (formerly NORBA). The last to do so was American Juli Furtado in 1993. Gould reprised her NMBS series win in cross-country in 2008, and again by winning the 2010 US Pro Cross-Country Tour.
Internationally Gould has been similarly successful: In 2012, she won the bronze medal for cross-country mountain bike at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. In 2008, she finished 5th overall in the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup, and followed it with a 4th place overall in 2010. In 2007, she won the gold medal at the 2007 Pan American Mountain Bike Championships in Neuquén, Argentina, propelling the US Women's mountain biking program to the top of international rankings. In 2009, Gould finished 2nd in the American Continental Mountain Bike Championships in Santiago, Chile.
