Winter X Games
ASPEN, Colo. -- Lindsey Jacobellis had the gold medal within her grasp. All she had to do was clear one final jump and cross the finish line. But instead of grabbing gold, she ended up grabbing her head.
Sound familiar?
But this wasn't the Olympics -- it only looked like it.
Jacobellis repeated her famous crash at the Turin Games last year, wiping out at the finish and allowing Joanie Anderson to win the snowboarder X Saturday at the Winter X Games.
Jacobellis, a three-time snowboarder X champ, had the red-faced moment of the Turin Games, costing herself a gold medal with a showboating move that led to a crash on the final jump. She didn't do the tail grab at the end of the run this time, but still ended up tumbling across the finish line after losing her balance on the final jump.
It left Jacobellis woozy -- she smacked her head on the ice during the crash -- and with another silver medal instead of gold.
Her repeat wreck cleared the way for Anderson's first Winter X gold.
The 20-year-old from South Lake Tahoe, Calif., stayed out of a crash early in the race that took out three riders, then stayed close to the surging Jacobellis. Anderson saw Jacobellis start to lose control and took a wide line off the final jump, a move that allowed her to avoid a collision and slip over the line just ahead of a tumbling Jacobellis.
"The finish was definitely insane," said Anderson, last year's silver medalist. "Lindsey was quite a ways ahead of me and I just tried to keep my eye on her and stay clean, keep away from her and not go on her direct line. I went a little to the right and was able to make it around her.
In other events, Norwegian Andreas Wiig ended Shaun White's four-year run as slopestyle champion, Tyler Walker won the inaugural mono skier X title, Jamie Anderson got gold women's slopestyle and Nate Holland took gold in men's snowboarder X.
White is the biggest name in snowboarding, the winner of a record-tying six Winter X golds and the gold medalist in the halfpipe in Turin. He's dominated slopestyle at Winter X, winning four straight before this year, and won 11 straight snowboarding events last year.
