Sixteen years is all it took for Lindsey Jacobellis to make up for the mistake of a lifetime after winning snowboard cross gold at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Jacobellis, 36, not only clinched a first gold for the United States in Beijing but ended her own search for the top snowboarding prize after she should have won it in her 2006 debut.
The American entrant paid the price for her arrogance in the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics when she led the field by a sizeable gap until a late piece of showboating saw her fall and settle for silver.
