Lori "Lolo" Jones is an American track and field star known for jumping hurdles on the track and overcoming hurdles in her life. After a difficult childhood, Jones had a stellar college career at Louisiana State University. While there, she won 3 NCAA titles and 11-All American Honors. She was favored to win the 100 m hurdles at the 2008 Bejing Olympics but after a devastating fall, she ended with a disappointing 7th place finish. But Jones has bounced back. Most recently she won a gold medal at the 2010 World Indoor Championship for the women's 60 m hurdle. Setting a personal best and a new American record, this performance demonstrates why she's still one of the best in her field.
In addition to her successes on the track, Jones has often been dubbed one of the hottest female Olympians. She even posed nude in the ESPN 2009 The Body Issue. But Lolo's no stranger to showing skin since running outfits, especially the shorts, offer minimal coverage. And it's not surprising that her favorite body parts are her legs. Not only are they her money-makers, but she puts in a lot of hard work to keep them looking good.
When it comes to clothing, Jones relies on her partnership with corporate sponsors Oakley and Asics. She's a fan of Oakley's ENDURING sport performances glasses. And she recently headed to Japan to design an Asics spike that will help her win the gold medal at the 2012 Olympic Games.
