"American snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis says her down-the-stretch bobble and crash that cost her a gold medal in women's snowboard-cross was the result of a blown "grab," a move to stabilize her against cross-winds after the final jump. Jacobellis ended up with silver and Switzerland's Tanja Frieden, who passed Jacobellis at the final jump, took the gold.
Upon further review, U.S. head snowboarding coach Peter Foley says it was a grab, but she "tweaked it harder than she needed."
Translation for the shred-impaired: She didn't need to do it so stylishly."
"Bronze medalist Dominique Maltais of Canada was even luckier. She had a hard crash and cruised to her medal at a safe and slow speed.
"I didn't do a grab," she said. "I didn't want to crash a second time.""
