VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Lindsey Jacobellis had to do it. Flying through the air toward the finish line, she reached down and grabbed her snowboard, a stunt similar to the showoff move that cost her a gold medal four years ago.

This time, it was all she could do to salvage something following another Olympic flub.

Jacobellis wobbled after landing a jump early in a snowboardcross semifinal, couldn’t regain control and clipped a gate, ending her medal chances.
