Lolo Jones
Lolo Jones is the world's fastest hottie
Lolo Jones has made the finals of the Olympics with a blistering 12.49 time in the 100-meter high hurdles. This is the fastest time run by any women in the event since the 2004 Olympics.
The final is being held tomorrow and we might even see a U.S. sweep as the best three times were all run by Americans. Damu Cherry finished with the second best time and Dawn Harper finished with the third best.
Lolo Jones has overcome some rough times as a child to excel in a tough job. She grew up poor but set her mind on overcoming her lack of material goods by bearing down and excelling in sports.
""I wanted to get out of poverty," she said.
Jones is now 26. She almost gave up the Olympic dream at several points in her career.
"When I didn't make the 2004 Olympic team, I started wondering if I should pursue track and field or use my economics degree," she told the LA Times recently. "It was very hard, but I'm sure I'm not the only athlete who has been through that."Now Lolo is poised to win the gold medal and she's already caputured much of the attention of the world. Here's to hoping that Lolo Jones can make her dreams come true.
