You have to fall before you can get back up, and that’s what U.S. snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis did at the 2022 Beijing Olympics.

The 36-year-old Connecticut native had been best known for taking a massive lead into the final jump at the 2006 Turin Games and then falling and settling for silver. Sixteen years later, she rode hard all the way to the line.
