Robert Clarke Alpine Skier
Who am I ?
PICTURE OF THE WEEK
My name is Robert Clarke, and I live in Troistorrents in the Dents du Midi Region. I am a member of the Morgins Ski Club and Kandahar Ski Club.
I am a young athlete who competes in alpine skiing competitions. I started skiing around the age of 2 with my parents and older brother. At the age of 12, I was selected for the training group at the Regional Performance Center, Ski Valais - Dents du Midi Region.
After a very successful season 21/22 with several podium finishes in regional and national races, I was selected for the training group at the National Performance Center in Brig.
After a successful first season in FIS, I am now part of the NLZ West Swissski program.
I enjoy all kinds of snow sports, but alpine skiing attracts me the most.
Outside of competitive sports, I enjoy downhill mountain biking, rollerblading, freeskating, wakeboarding, and scuba diving. I am also a big fan of Formula 1.
I am a hardworking and dedicated athlete, and I am pleased with my first year in FIS races, where I competed with the best in Switzerland in my age group. My goal is to continue to do my best and improve with the aim of eventually joining the Swiss national team.
