Lindsey Jacobellis's epic fail

Okay, so picture this scene.

You are a female snowboarder and the Winter Olympics have decided to recognize your sport for the first time. You're totally stoked.

You head to Torino for your big day. This is it. For the past four years you've been up at 4 am and on the slopes with a protein shake by 4.20. You are, quite simply, in the shape of your life.

Now, it's the race and you're going great guns. Better than that: you're way out in the lead going into the second last jump. Your options are:

a) play it safe and win a GOLD medal. Your grandkids will tell their grandkids.

b) showboat and 'tweak' a gnarly method air.

You opt for b). This is what happens ...
