It is hard to separate the identical Barnes' twins as they continue to match each other's accomplishments.
2002 World Junior Championship Silver Medal in Relay. Media darlings of the Olympic Biathlon team appearing in newspapers, and magazines including Teen People , Durango Magazine, and was featured on the TODAY SHOW. Both suffered from mono for most of the Olympic season, resulting in sub-par performances and cut short their season. Shooting perfection and consistency are their trademarks. SOCCER IS THEIR PASSION….each considers the other sister her best friend.

Favorite Olympic moment: when the US women won their first soccer Gold Medal
My favorite place in the world is Durango
My best friend is Lanny and Gary
The best thing in the last couple of years was being able to share the Olympics with my family
If I were not a world class athlete, I would be an Entrepreneur
I am a slacker when it comes to cleaning the car
My favorite psych-up music is Black Eyed Peas
In 2010, I expect to be at the Olympics as a Gold medalist
