In 2002, Kelly Clark - then 18 years old - became the first American Olympic champion of the Salt Lake Games when she won gold in women's halfpipe... In the aftermath of Salt Lake, she struggled under the weight of being Olympic champion, but returned and nearly won a medal on an inspired final run in Torino... The 26-year-old is making her third Olympic appearance in Vancouver.
Beneath the first tier of stars, another group of Olympians have both the talent and the persona to become a story in their own right.
Olympians celebrate 100 days until Vancouver's Opening Ceremony in New York City.
