It's unfortunate that Lindsey Jacobellis is remembered for the fall that cost her gold at the 2006 Olympics, because the snowboard-cross veteran is just about the most successful athlete the sport has seen. Jacobellis is a five-time world and 10-time X Games individual champion, and Beijing will represent her fifth (!) Olympics. She hasn't made it onto the podium since finishing second in 2006, but she came painfully close with a fourth-place finish in Pyeongchang. Jacobellis grabbed two third-place finishes in early January competitions, though, so she's heading into Beijing with confidence on her side.
