Lindsey Jacobellis extended a 15-year run of winning snowboard events on the top international level, capturing her 30th individual World Cup victory on Friday.
The four-time Olympian led pretty much from start to finish of the snowboard cross final in Cervinia, Italy, with 2014 Olympic champion Eva Samkova taking runner-up.
“It’s definitely years and years of riding to fine-tune all those little details,” Jacobellis said. “It gets harder and harder every time, but it’s still really fun.”
PyeongChang gold medalist Michela Moioli of Italy was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the season opener.
