Skeleton

Although Mellisa has been competing in skeleton since 1995 it wasn’t until the pivotal 2005-06 season that she kicked off by winning her first World Cup in 10 years of racing, and became the first athlete in the history of the sport to never finish out of the top three for the rest of the year including the Olympic Winter Games. Mellisa headed to Torino for the 2006 Olympic Winter Games, where she slid to a historic bronze-medal finish, after winning the Overall World Cup title. Gutsy, courageous and determined, Mellisa is proud of this huge accomplishment, but her competitive goals are not yet achieved. Mellisa is poised to win gold at home in 2010.
