4. Jenny Jones
There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when Britain’s Jenny Jones capped her exemplary career with a much deserved silver medal at the Sochi Olympics.
The 33 year-old famously got her start at her local dry slope, and went on to become a pioneer of women’s freestyle snowboarding without ever quite getting the recognition her achievements (such as a couple of X Games gold medals) warranted. Happily, those two stomped runs in the final in Russia now mean her career has the happy ending it deserves.
