Lolo Jones Barely Advances to the Finals of the 100 M Hurdles
[UPDATE: Lolo Jones finished 4th in the 100 M hurdles, just missing a medal. Americans Dawn Harper and Kellie Wells finished 2nd and 3rd, respectively. Australia's Sally Pearson won the race.]
Lolo Jones, the marketable American hurdler who the New York Times ripped over the weekend, barely qualified for the 100 m hurdles, finishing 3rd in her heat with a time of 12.71. Jones got off to a slow start, and seemed to be all over her lane, but she recovered nicely to advance to the Finals. Australia Sally Pearson won the heat in a blistering 12.39, nearly setting an Olympic record.
Dawn Harper, an American, also qualified for the Finals. She dominated her heat.
The Finals will take place around 4 pm EST. NBC will save the race for tonight, so you’ll want to find a quality BBC feed if (like me) you’re struggling with NBC’s online efforts.

Those abs are pretty intense. I bet they’d look great with a cream colored map of the state of Hawaii painted on there.

Strongly dislike the bellybutton. Disappointing.
August 7th, 2012 at 2:46 PM
Did she run full out or did she shut it down in a comfortable qualifying position?

You mean she pulled a Bolt?

Don’t think of it as a belly button. Think of it as a receptacle.

id pay one million cash dollars to pop her cherry.

What if she tells you in the process that she can’t get off unless she gets to peg you first.

Her hymen is slowing her down.
August 7th, 2012 at 2:54 PM
liar. you’d see that cash and buy a new 4 iron and some grass. then you wouldn’t have one million cash dollars anymore…you’d have less.

she gets one finger for no longer than 10 seconds…otherwise deal’s off.
actually…you’re right. if i had one million cash dollars, i’d probably be playing too much golf to worry about a cherry poppin prostate exam.

If she flattens out in the final, suggest it be referred to as a “German reverse cannonball.”
August 7th, 2012 at 3:09 PM
Lolo will claim her gold, then move on to quarterbacking the Jets in goal-line situations.
August 7th, 2012 at 3:10 PM
Me either, as fucking a chick that looks like a highly toned Bangkok ladyboy doesn’t really work for me.
August 7th, 2012 at 3:12 PM
Is this a disappointment? I know she’s being hyped now, but is she a favorite? Did she medal at Worlds last year?
August 7th, 2012 at 3:13 PM

Listen all I’m saying is it makes for a mad crazy ejac.

August 7th, 2012 at 3:14 PM
After looking Wikipedia, I think this is about par for the course for her. The 60m hurdles are her strength.
August 7th, 2012 at 3:15 PM
Little late to this party, but I read that NYTimes piece and while I think it was unnecessarily harsh, I’m not sure it was incorrect. Most world T&F experts don’t consider her a threat to even medal. It’s not unreasonable to suggest that a lot of her exposure stems from her social choices rather than athletic dominance.
Sanya Richards-Ross has a legit chance to win gold in the 400 and 200 and we don’t hear a peep about her because she’s been fucking for 15 years now.

Listen to Jeremy Piven. He’s a movie star.

It did nothing to deter Linsanity last winter.
August 7th, 2012 at 3:17 PM
Thank you. I’ve been calling her a “Tranny-Rashida Jones”.
August 7th, 2012 at 3:17 PM
Jones has the “olympic comeback” narrative that has been played well before the games started. We have seen over and over what happened in Beijing when she was the favorite, heading to the gold and then hit the hurdle.
America likes comeback stories.
August 7th, 2012 at 3:19 PM
True, but looking at her competition history, it appears that heading to gold in Bejing is the outlier, not the norm.
August 7th, 2012 at 3:20 PM
How many people know this story, though? We pay attention to track and field for one week every four years. I doubt most people knew who Lolo Jones was before her marketing team ramped up.
August 7th, 2012 at 3:21 PM
i get the whole “no publicity is bad publicity” thing, but if she really wanted to reach a wide audience, wouldnt acting sluttier bring a wider audience than being a virgin?
August 7th, 2012 at 3:32 PM
Being slutty > acting slutty

Huh, the woman who most serious track experts didn’t think would medal… didn’t in fact medal.
August 7th, 2012 at 7:21 PM
no medal, but still hot as balls.
August 7th, 2012 at 7:41 PM
maybe she’d do better at the google hurdles
August 7th, 2012 at 9:49 PM
Ok, I’ll ask. Black? White? Mixed? WTF? I can’t pin it. Either way, though, I’d fuck her and let her peg me, or whatever, she’s hot as hell.
