To repeat my comment of 2 years ago "I would just respect the fact that no matter how hard she seems to get knocked down or how much public criticism she receives, she always seems to keep on trying" What a legend, well done Lindsey
-
Lindsey Jacobellis just won the gold medal, 16 years later. What a story.
-
I'm glad she won the Olympics gold medal today, deserved it!
-
Came here after she won gold. I didn't think she'd ever overcome this blunder, certainly not at 36. Yesterday's triumph is a culmination of determination and not letting her past come back to haunt her. So proud of Lindsey Jacobellis for continuing to fight.
-
Maybe she should have just been honest and admitted she was show boating? Cleared the air, laughed at herself and then moved on. It seemed to haunt her from then on.
-
03:25 Worse than making a mistake is not admitting to have made it.
-
I'm glad she got the Gold this year but claiming the grab was for "stability"? Really? Even the narrator doesn't believe it.
-
We probably all scoffed at her for having a lack of humility in that mad moment in Turin 2006. Looking back, and understanding the sport (and life!) more, she probably was just a young athlete having fun and lost to a more deserving rider. I congratulate her for staying the course over the intervening years and having the tenacity to finally fulfill her Olympic dream.
-
3:45 lol, heβs like βdammit, Lindsey, not again.β
-
I totally remember that ham moment when she looked back to see how far away they were behind her and I thought oh no, please donβt do anything stupid... LOL.
-
She got cocky in 2006 I watched it and karma caught her fast.
-
she tried to showboat...and got facepalm...
-
Now she did it without falling. 16 years later she gets her gold.
-
Anyone here after she won the gold medal in Beijing? Never give up!
-
A true champion manages to find a way for redemption, and that she has found today. Well done Lindsey Jacobellis!
-
Lindsey Jacobellis would then go onto to take part in the same event in PyeongChang. Where she would finish fourth in the final.
-
To improve stability??????????????????????????????????????
-
She learned how to be humble and not show off! Paid off today!
-
She got her gold now, 16 years later!
-
Whoβs watching after she won gold in Beijing?
