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.
The American athletes at the Winter Olympics will be ambassadors for the sporty style synonymous with American fashion.
As Vancouver approaches, many prominent records stand on the verge of being toppled.
