From Turin mistakes to Beijing double gold! She turned 36 and spent 16 years achieving self-redemption

Lindsay Jacobellis galloped across the track, her signature blonde curls scattered from her helmet and fluttering in the wind.

Her curly hair didn't affect her gliding, and she kept her rhythm undistracted—knee-bending, stabilizing the core, and her eyes only had the finish line and the gold medal behind the line.

At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, she was a stone's throw away from that gold medal, but she accidentally fell down because she wanted to show a handsome grab at the last moment, resulting in only one silver medal. Since then, Jacob Baylis has continued to attack the Olympic podium for 16 years, until the completion of the "redemption" of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

On February 9, she won the gold medal in the women's steeplechase on snowboarding and the first gold medal from the U.S. delegation at the Beijing Winter Olympics. Three days later, she teamed up with her teammates to win the gold medal in the snowboard slalom chase mixed team.

"Do you know what the charm of sport is? That's when you see a person who has gone through all the hardships and finally achieved something on the stage she longs for. "People haven't forgotten her story because of the passage of time. Those past setbacks, trials and experiences provide the most moving narrative background for today's legend.
