Oh, hell.On the final leg of what was supposed to be a gold medal run, Lindsey Jacobellis did the only thing she wasn't supposed to do to retain her medal.
She fell.
And, unlike the Chinese couple that got up and fought their way to a silver medal in figure skating, Jacobellis fell to her silver, literally and figuratively.
The thing that is strange to me is how well the "extreme" portion of out Olympic team takes losses. While I'd love to chalk this up to youth or perspective, I think it has more to do with the fact that the IOC can't test everyone for weed all the time.
