If youth defined Lindsey Jacobellis’ Olympics debut, experience has become her strength 16 years later.
If youth defined Lindsey Jacobellis’ Olympic debut, experience has become her strength 16 years later.
On a snowy day in Zhangjiakou, China, that slowed the tracks and made just staying upright a challenge, Jacobellis and Baumgartner were the last ones standing on Friday. Snowboarders from Canada and Italy went down in the final, and Jacobellis held off Italy’s Michela Moioli in a dramatic mixed team snowboard cross finish for the gold.
But in the final, Baumgartner gave Jacobellis a slight lead. Jacobellis lost the lead early, made a late move on Moioli by getting the inside track, then held her off. She finally nailed down that gold Wednesday, when she earned her first — and Team USA’s first — in the women’s snowboard cross. Between the devastation and celebration, Jacobellis finished fifth in 2010, seventh in 2014 and fourth in 2018. She is now filling her medal case.
