Lindsey Jacobellis
The blonde-haired beauty with the girl-next-door personality and
killer instinct on the slopes was born on August 19, 1985 in Stratton,
Vermont.

began her snowboarding career under the tutelage of big brother,
Ben
Jacobellis, himself a champion snowboarder.
Lindsey later went on to train at the Stratton
Mountain Snowboarding School before entering the X Games in
boardercross at age 15.
Today, she
is a standout not only for her looks and personality. She's one
of the few snowboarders to compete in boardercross, slopestyle
and half pipe snowboarding events, and in Winter
X Games "Lucky Lindsey" has won the gold in snowboardcross
for the past four years,
On the slopes
in Torino at the 2006
Winter Olympics, Jacobellis most famously flubbed a shot at
gold when she fell at the finish line, giving the win to Switzerlands
Tanja Frieden
who became the first Olympic champion in womens snowboardcross.
Jacobellis'
USA teammate, Seth
Wescott took the very first Olympic gold medal in men's snowboardcross.
