Aerialists to Watch
There are plenty of other Americans -- nearly all living in Utah -- who are going for the gold in Freestyle Aerials.

(Nov. 3, 2001)------We featured Eric Bergoust a couple of weeks ago. You can bet Bergy will be there, trying to be the first in Aerials, to win back to back gold medals.
1998 Olympian Britt Swartley was 5th in Nagano and has 8 World Cup wins under his belt. 2002 could be his year for Olympic Gold.
Brian Currutt- nicknamed Curdog - has a quad twisting triple summersalt that could land him on the podium.
Park City's Jerry Grossi had his best season ever last year, until he broke his leg on a dirt bike. He's healthy now.
Mariano Ferrario injured his knee in the last winter Olympics and still finished 15th. He's back to better that.
Corey Hacker finished 5th at World Championships.
And on the women's side, small but packed with power and style, Kelly Hilliman placed 5th at World Championships.
Veteran aerialist Brenda Petzold ended last season with a broken collar bone. Now she's stronger than ever, and hungry for Olympic glory.
After taking a couple of seasons off, three time Olympian Tracy Evans returned to Aerials for the chance to turn her Olympic dream into Olympic Gold.
