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???

that she is a dumbass

Word.

She is NOT hard on the eyes, though.

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.
