Winter Olympics Series Episode IX - Lindsey Jacobellis and Snowboard Cross

Snowboard Cross is fun, that much is certain. But what happens when a competitor chooses the wrong moment to have fun, with the eyes of the world upon her and the finish line in sight? In 2006, Lindsey Jacobellis had one of the winter games most memorable and infamous moments, and despite dominating her sport in every other competition, then spent 16 years searching for redemption.

Fortunately, sport being sport, and the Olympics being as wonderful as they are, even at the age of 36 in a sport dominated by youth, redemption is always there for those talented and persistent enough to continue to seek it.
