Hallie Clarke

I am a 19 year old slider based out of Calgary, AB and Brighton, ON. After my breakout season in the 2021-22 Olympic year, I went south and raced my IBSF World Cup debut season for Team USA. While being one of the youngest on tour, I earned two Silver Medals, a top 10 at World Championships, and became the U20 Junior World Champion. I am now excited to wear the maple leaf on my back, this time for good, and continue the momentum!

 

I started skeleton in 2018, at 14 years old, when I moved to Calgary and saw a ‘learn to push’ sign. I felt it was time to try something new after years of being a multisport athlete, so I gave it a try. It wasn’t an easy introduction to the sport. I crashed my very first run and had to find the courage to get back on the sled. I gave it a few more tries that same night and haven’t looked back since. Months later, I became the youngest ever to slide down the fastest track in the world in Whistler, Canada (at over 140km/hr).

 

Although an untraditional path thus far, my goals and ambition have not changed. Five years into my career and I am more determined than ever as I look forward to achieving my next big goal: 2026 Winter Olympic Games
