| Rickey's Passing Thoughts: "For the record, I hate Lolo Jones. I'm so happy she messed up and showed her true colors by making excuses after excuses after excuses for having such a poor performance. She's been doing this all throughout her Olympic career. Of course I couldn't forgive the US Olympic people for letting her on to the Winter Olympic team bumping off someone allegedly better than her. Kinda disappointed that this ruined Keo's debut on the show. And even Carrie Ann botched his name! WTF. This was painful to watch from start to brutal end." | ||
About Lolo Jones
Lolo Jones, born in Des Moines, Iowa, is one of the greatest track athletes of her generation and one of the greatest American hurdlers of all time. The American record holder at 60 meters, Lolo was a three-time national champion at Louisiana State University (which led to being named All-American 11 times). After college, she only got faster, winning the U.S. indoor national championship three times, and then she topped that by winning gold medals at the indoor World Championships twice. In addition to appearances at the 2008 and 2012 Summer Olympics for hurdles, Lolo became just the 10th American in history to compete in both the Summer and Winter Olympics, as a member of the U.S. Bobsled Team for the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia.
