kelly clark trained for competitive snowboarding at Mount Snow Academy in Vermont and graduated in spring 2001. She won a gold medal for women's halfpipe at the 2002 Winter Olympics. she started off briliate and she still is. she has gotten first and secound in every competition except one she got third. what a record.

she has won two gold metals,three silver,and two bronze. that is amazing, because she won these metal competing against the world! her two favorite competitions are the superpipe and halfpipe. i always watching her come out and sometimes doing new tricks. she is truly amazing at what she does.
