Lori "Lolo" Jones won the hearts of fans with her come-from-behind spirit. She inspired and wowed her fans on her way to assured Olympic gold. Instead, like life, the hurdles dealt a cruel deuce to Jones on her race to stardom.
Jones finished seventh in the Olympic 100 meter hurdles after clipping her foot on the second to last hurdle. In her home of Iowa and her adopted home of Louisiana, we are disappointed, but also search for a way to continue cheering on the young, beautiful spirit that inspired us on and off the track.
That blasted hurdle might represent the countless obstacles thrown in her path that eventually failed to stop her from achieving her goals. The world will see Lolo rise once more.
