The world's top snowboard cross rider, Lindsey Jacobellis is a two-time world champion and two-time World Cup champion, but her Olympics in Torino left her infamously short of gold - attempting a trick with a seemingly insurmountable lead, she fell and finished with silver... The Stratton, VT, native is making her second Olympic appearance in Vancouver.

As the pilot for the USA-1 bobsled, I broke a 62-year gold medal drought when my sled, the 'Night Train" won the Olympic title at the 2010 Vancouver Games. A degenerative eye condition nearly caused me to quit my sport in 2008, but corrective surgery restored my vision to 20-20.
