Great '06 Olympic Story You May Have Fogotten

• Strapping Young Lad

  

  Lindsey Jacobellis was competing in Gold Medal Snowboard Cross competition at the '06 games, where she had a first place 140-ft lead, approaching the end of the course.
  
  Only moments away from the Gold for which she' d been training so hard, she decided to "hot-dog it" and attempt a method grab. She ate snow and was passed by a Swiss rider.
  
  Jacobellis recieved the Silver.......
  
  Cool story bro, I know. What lesson can we take away from this???

  She truly f'ed up, no question. Then she spends the next four years preparing for the '10 games and biffs through a course marker going out of bounds in the medal qualifying round.
  
  Think of all the endorsment scratch she would have had.
  
  Karma is a real bitch.
