CHAPELCO, Argentina - Olympic silver medalist Lindsey Jacobellis (Stratton Mountain, ME) showed she still has the magic touch during Friday's SBX World Cup qualifications. Jacobellis finished first as the season's first weekend of World Cup action got underway. The World Cup in Argentina is the first in a series of five Olympic qualification events for snowboardcross.
"It was great to get Lindsey in the finals. There were some mistakes, but that's to be expected early in the season. But, I am very pleased with our speed this time of year," U.S. Snowboarding Head Coach Peter Foley said.
