Come to a better question, how many of you can put snowboard bindings on your feet and pull off anything more complex than falling?

This might have been a forgotten moment because it happened in February but seriously how stupid can you get? Jacobellis was dreaming of a gold medal and rightfully so because she was so far ahead of the pack in women’s snowboard cross. Then a moment of clarity turned into stupidity as she decided to pull a trick on the final jump to look good for the cameras I presume. She could probably nail that landing after drinking a 12 pack and doing a line of cocaine. This one time she did not. She fell on the landing and had to say she was still happy with the silver medal. Doh!! [...] […] Lindsey Jacobellis - I’ll start with a favorite. This might have been a forgotten moment because it happened in February but seriously how stupid can you get?

Lindsey has been training since she was 15 and regardless of her mistake, she has worked her ass off to get where she is. I guarantee majority of you would try and show off a little on national television with millions of people watching, at the age of 20, and having such a far lead. Put yourself in her position and rather than taking the time to make fun of her go do something productive with your own life...she has achieved more than many of you ever will at the age of 21 I think this website is ridiculous…its hard and sometimes impossible for many people to even stand up on a snowboard let alone get into the olympics.

Humility is such an outstanding value to have. Hi Benny

Unfortunately we do not see the interviews she gave afterwards….It was very pleasing to read your last sentence and good on her for doing so and I give her Ten out of Ten. Humility is such an outstanding value to have.

I'm sure that was the same emotion shared by many non-Americans. When the USA fails, other countries rejoice. It's only natural. She did act gracious in defeated and did do all interviews requested and did not avoid the media. Give her credit for that. Thanks for your comment.

When the arrogance and egotistical, better than everyone else in the World attitude, fell flat on its arse. Maybe the USA will learn something from this although I dont think so. I hope at least that she has learnt from this and that is to be a better competitor and to be gracious and sportsman like in victory and defeat.
