<p><span id="more-4043"></span></p>
<p><em>Let Go</em> made Lavigne the youngest female soloist to reach #1 in the UK, the album was certified four-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. As of 2009, over 16 million copies had been sold worldwide, more than 6 million of which were sold in the United States. Her breakthrough single, &#8220;Complicated&#8221;, peaked at #1 in many countries around the world, as did the album <em>Let Go</em>. Her second album, <em>Under My Skin</em>, was released in 2004 and was her first album to peak at #1 on the U.S. <em>Billboard</em> 200 , eventually selling more than 10 million copies worldwide. <em>The Best Damn Thing</em>, Lavigne’s third album, was released in 2007. This album gave Lavigne her third #1 album in the UK Albums Chart and featured her first U.S. Billboard Hot 100 single, &#8220;Girlfriend&#8221;. Lavigne has scored a total of five #1 singles worldwide, including &#8220;Complicated&#8221;, &#8220;Sk8er Boi&#8221;, &#8220;I&#8217;m With You&#8221;, &#8220;My Happy Ending&#8221; and &#8220;Girlfriend&#8221;. Lavigne has sold more than 30 million copies of her albums worldwide and is currently one of the top-selling artists releasing albums in the U.S., with over 10.25 million copies certified by the RIAA. <em>Billboard</em> named Lavigne the #10 pop artist of the 2000s, and she was listed as the 28th overall best act of the decade based on album sales, chart success, and cultural relativity in the U.S. She is currently working on her fourth studio album, expected to be released in 2010.</p>
<p>Lavigne branched out from recording music, pursuing careers in feature film acting and designing clothes and perfumes. She voiced a character in the animated film, <em>Over the Hedge</em>, in 2006. That same year, she made her on-screen feature film debut in <em>Fast Food Nation</em>. In 2008, Lavigne introduced her clothing line, Abbey Dawn, and in 2009, she released her first perfume, Black Star, that will be followed by her second perfume, Forbidden Rose in 2010.</p>
<p>In July 2006, Lavigne married her boyfriend of two years, Deryck Whibley, lead singer and guitarist for Sum 41. The marriage lasted a little over three years, and in October 2009, Lavigne filed for divorce. Whibley and Lavigne continued to work together after the divorce, with Whibley producing on her upcoming fourth album, as well as Lavigne&#8217;s single, &#8220;Alice&#8221;, written for Tim Burton&#8217;s film <em>Alice in Wonderland</em>.</p>

She won the Gold Medal in the snowboard cross event at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, becoming the first Canadian woman to win a gold medal at home in the Olympics. As a young girl Ricker had two dreams: to compete competitively in snowboarding, and to compete in snowboarding at the Winter Olympics, despite the fact that Snowboarding was not an Olympic sport at the time. She first competed in the FIS Snowboard World Cup during the 1996-97 season, twice standing on the podium in her rookie season. She competed at her first Olympics in 1998 in Nagano where only parallel giant slalom and halfpipe were Olympic snowboard events. Ricker competed in the halfpipe event placing fifth. After Nagano, Ricker began competing in multiple snowboard disciplines, competing in both the halfpipe and in the newer sport of boarder cross. She won her first World Cup gold in the discipline of snowboard cross later that year in 1998. She was forced to skip the 2002 Winter Olympics because of injury.

Ricker later said that she did not remember her crash, and that finishing fourth in 2006 was like &#8220;seeing the love of your life on the subway but never getting to meet them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ricker won a bronze medal in the same event at Winter X Games XI. She was the overall world cup champion during the 07/08 season. She also previously competed in the halfpipe world championships, with her highest finish being 7th in 2003. She is a two time X Games gold medalist in snowboard cross winning the gold in both the 1999 Winter X Games and the Winter X-Games 10.</p>
