Lori Susan "Lolo" Jones is a highly accomplished American athlete, excelling in both track and field as well as bobsledding. Specializing in the 60-meter and 100-meter hurdles, Jones has made a significant impact in the world of athletics. During her collegiate career at Louisiana State University, she won three NCAA titles and earned 11 All-American honors, establishing herself as one of the top hurdlers in the country. Her dominance continued on the professional stage, where she claimed multiple indoor national titles and two World Indoor Championship gold medals in the 60-meter hurdles in 2008 and 2010.

Jones was a favorite to win the 100-meter hurdles at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, but a stumble on the penultimate hurdle cost her the gold, and she finished in seventh place. Despite this setback, she rebounded quickly, winning gold at the 2008 World Athletics Final with a time of 12.56, defeating the newly crowned Olympic champion Dawn Harper. Jones also held the American record in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 7.72 until 2018, when it was surpassed by Kendra Harrison and Sharika Nelvis, who both clocked 7.70.

In addition to her track and field career, Jones has also made a name for herself in the sport of bobsledding. She joined the U.S. national bobsled team as a brakewoman and achieved significant success, winning a gold medal in the mixed team event at the 2013 World Championships. She further solidified her place in the sport by winning another gold in the two-woman bobsled at the 2021 World Championships. Jones' versatility as an athlete is underscored by her participation in both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, a rare feat that highlights her exceptional athleticism.

Beyond her athletic achievements, Jones has also gained recognition in the entertainment world, appearing on several reality TV shows such as Dancing with the Stars, Celebrity Big Brother, The Challenge, and Name That Tune. Her appearances on these shows have broadened her public profile, making her a well-known figure both on and off the track.
