Lindsey Jacobellis (born August 19, 1985) is an American snowboarder from Roxbury, Connecticut.[1] The most decorated female snowboard cross athlete of all time,[2] she dominated the sport for almost two decades as a five-time World Champion and ten-time X Games champion. In her Olympic debut at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Jacobellis won the silver medal in snowboard cross but was unable to medal at the next three Olympics until winning gold at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.[3] Jacobellis also won gold (with teammate Nick Baumgartner) in mixed team snowboard cross at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.[4]
