American snowboard cross legend whose eight World Championship wins and long-awaited Olympic gold at the 2022 Beijing Winter Games produced one of sport's most gratifying redemption stories.
Lindsey Jacobellis is America's most decorated snowboarder, the dominant force in snowboardcross who won five Olympic gold medals across her extraordinary career. Her longevity at the top of the sport is unprecedented in snowboarding, and her patience in winning her first Olympic gold medal in 2022 after infamously grabbing her board while showboating in 2006 — causing her to fall and miss gold — is one of sport's great redemption stories.
