Quotes by Lindsey Jacobellis
I am nervous, I just never show it, that's a little exaggerated. I never really show any kind of emotion at the top. I usually close people off except for my coach and my other team riders.
I had been having trouble with that jump all day. (Grabbing the board) helps you stabilize in the air. I tried but it didn't work.
The silver medal ... is still a silver medal. The USA is on the podium anyway.
That was definitely not the best grab of choice to be strategic. If you see any of my races, you know I'm always grabbing. It helps get me on the ground as fast as possible.
I was having fun. I wanted to share my enthusiasm with the crowd. Stuff happens. It's just a race.
I was having fun. Snowboarding is fun. I was feeling great that I was ahead. I wanted to share with the crowd my enthusiasm. I messed up, and oh well, it happens.
