You know what they say…

cometh before the fall…

Lindsey Jacobellis was two jumps away from winning the first gold medal ever in women's snowboard cross, sitting on an insurmountable lead. Then, she tried a "backside method grab," a show boat move for the crowd. She landed on her heels, and then on her backside. Tanja Frieden flew by the fallen Jacobellis, taking the gold.

The video is available here, and NBC's article is here. I still haven't found an article that justifies snowboarding being an olympic sport. Can someone please explain this to me? In my opinion, anything that you get better at the more pot you smoke is not a sport.
