Ricker wins gold in snowboard cross final 

By Katie Rook, CTVOlympics.ca 
Tuesday, February 16, 2010 

Snowboard cross athlete Maëlle Ricker has delivered Canada’s second gold medal of the 2010 Games at Cypress Mountain.

Ricker, the world’s top-ranked World Cup circuit rider coming into the Games, finished Tuesday’s race ahead of France’s Deborah Anthonioz and Olivia Nobs of Switzerland.

The gold medal victory ends a long-standing rivalry Ricker has shared with American rider Lindsey Jacobellis, who won the Olympic silver medal in 2006.

Jacobellis fumbled a landing off the first jump in the semi-final on Tuesday and missed a gate. Jacobellis secured her 2006 Olympic medal in a race that left Ricker in the hospital.

Ricker narrowly qualified for Tuesday’s finals, advancing only on the strength of her second qualifying run. The 31-year-old Vancouver-native blew out of the course and did not secure a competitive time from her first qualifying run.
