Today's twitter wrap is largely dedicated to World Champion Lolo Jones, @followlolo. If you are not following Lolo, I encourage you to do so. And, if you are an athlete that we follow, I also encourage you to study her tweets. She sets the bar very high in the realm of amusement. I encourage all of you competitive athletes to try to achieve the level of amusement that Lolo is able to achieve. At the bottom of this post, I have included a few tweet from other athletes that contend with Lolo's tweets.

@followlolo:

OH MY! I Can'T believe I will either have to Cut off my hair or buy a WIG!!! Details coming soon and no I don't have cancer...

Hmmm which one? http://tweetphoto.com/15911731

Look #1 http://tweetphoto.com/15911951

Wig look number 2. #Ikes!!!http://tweetphoto.com/15912309

Wig look number 3. Grandma? Is that you?http://tweetphoto.com/15913068

Wig look number 4. Yes,please give me that 'Beyonce look' but I'm on a budget..what's that get me?http://tweetphoto.com/15914956

Enough suspense!I'm going to New Orleans Hornets 1920's themed Gala.The problem:1920's hairstyles were short.To prevent a cut;a hat or wig.

Okay, these aren't that funny, but you should read them anyway because everyone should encourage Lolo to follow through with creating a charity:

need help deciding name for my charity ....suggestions?

Please help me decide name of my charity is going to help people with the unexpected life hurdles. like 9th hurdle i hit in beijing.

i also was injured last year over 9th hurdle in Zurich medical bills were outstanding. I want to help people with life's unexpected

Yes before I even tweeted that was top name I brainstormed RT @manderacg: so Ninth Hurdle Foundation is what you're headed for, right?

No Way I can name charity this!!!!! it can be taken out of context RT @andyromey: @followlolo How about 'A Leg Up'?

Other contenders:

@RebeccaLobo: Thought from the YMCA : An old guy in a speedo -- bad look. An old guy in a baggy speedo -- even worse.

@kiima7: i'm blown that my child is suspended for shooting rubber bands... I say bring back corporal punishment.. how does missing school help them... back in my day.. we were shooting staples, spit balls, putting tacks in the teachers seat...now u shoot a rubber band and get put out WTF

@Alysia800: There is nothing I dislike more than lyin in bed gettin comfy about to fall into that slumber faze and you get moded by your bladder.

@anngaff Yup just realized I did my whole run with my shirt on backwards

@aggyrun: If you see me sniffing my arm today...it's because I'm wearing Origins grapefruit body souffle and it smells sooo good! :)
