Lindsey Jacobellis Suffers Winter Olympics Heartbreak -- Again

Team USA snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis on Friday just barely missed the chance to take a place at the podium during her fourth Winter Olympics . 

The veteran athlete missed a bronze medal by 0.03 seconds in the snowboarding cross final. She trailed gold medalist Michela Moioli by a mere 0.46 seconds.

She led at the start to the midway point but was later thrown off by a crashing rider , NBC reports. 

Jacobellis, 32, won a silver in 2006 but a showboat move  caused her to fall and give up a huge lead and the gold. She was then disqualified in the semifinals in 2010 and crashed in the semis in 2014.

Away from the Olympics, she has had a stellar career, earning 10 golds at the X Games and five world championships.  

But another Olympic letdown (see video of the race here ) didn’t seem to get her down too much.

“I could be upset , but where is that going to get me?” she said.
