...Jacobellis. Although she ultimately finished a disappointing fifth, failing to make amends for her infamous gaffe at the 2006 Olympics in Turin, Italy - where she stumbled at the end of a race she was on the verge of winning because she hotdogged it on the last jump, taking silver instead of gold - at least she had no broken bones.
