Lindsey Jacobellis was the darling of the 2022 Olympic Games with her double gold performance. But while Lindsey has always been a podium threat (she’s a 10x X-Games Gold Medalist) when she crashed and took silver at the 2006 Olympic Games, the world made her a villain and now, almost 20 years later, she finally has that Olympic Gold. This episode is all about Lindsey’s incredible redemption story, and we talk about her upbringing, Palmer, the Olympic blunder, winning, and so much more. Alex Diebold asks Inappropriate Questions.
