With two wins and a second at the Grand Prix, his spot is secured on the U.S Snowboard Team. He had a sick first run with huge air and back to back double corked 1080s. With impressive runs at all three of the Grand Prix's so far, Shaun White has proven himself to be a huge threat for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. He won a gold medal in the 2006 Olympics and many other gold medals in the X Games. Shaun is an unbelievable athlete excelling in not only snowboarding but in skateboarding as well where he has won multiple other gold medals. 
He will ride with three other men and four other women representing the USA. The other rider named for the 2010 Olympic team is Kelly Clark. She was the first female and first member added to the 2010 Olympic Team on January 6, 2010. She also is an Olympic gold medalist. Kelly won a gold medal in the 2002 Olympics. In 2006, she was a late qualifier and definitely stepped her game up this year to show she is serious to get her hands on another gold!
**With Kevin Pearce's condition improving from critical to serious condition, keep him in your thoughts and prayers. We're all with you!!**
