With athletes already landing on snowboard World Cup podiums this fall, U.S. Snowboarding revealed its 2010 roster which is highlighted by Olympic gold medalists Kelly Clark (Mt. Snow, VT), Hannah Teter (Belmont, VT) and Seth Wescott (Sugarloaf, ME).Also bringing their medals to the scene are 2006 Olympic silver medalists Gretchen Bleiler (Aspen, CO) and Lindsey Jacobellis (Stratton Mountain, VT), along with five-time X Games gold medalist Nate Holland (Squaw Valley, CA), 2009 X Games silver medalist Graham Watanabe (Sun Valley, ID), and World Championship bronze medalist Nick Baumgartner (Iron River, MI).
On the women's side of things, with more World Cup success than any other man or woman in SBX history, Jacobellis is the name to watch. She left Torino with the silver in 2006. In the four years that have passed she's had countless hours in the gym, 17 World Cup podiums (11 of which were wins), two X Games golds, and the 2009 World Cup SBX title later, the woman is brimming with successes.
Even with all the accolades under her belt, Jacobellis keeps her head level for the 2010 season saying, "If something is going to happen, it will happen. If it's meant to be, it will be. I usually just take it one race at a time and focus on the task at hand."
