Kelly Clark has dominated Women’s Halfpipe in much the same way as her American teammate, Shaun White, has done in the Men’s arena. The pair debuted at the Winter X-Games together, back in 2000, and success has followed since then for both, with Clark winning each of the last four Halfpipe events at the Winter X-Games. She was the clear winner last month and many will expect that to continue in Sochi.

Kelly will be taking part in her third Olympics having won gold in 2002 and a bronze in 2010 in Vancouver. She’s got all the trick in the book and if she lays down the run she wants there’s few who can even come close. Clark won in Aspen throwing a huge 1080 and is the only women who can pull the trick consistently – it could prove to be the deciding factor.
