Lori “Lolo” Jones was born on August 5, 1982, in Des Moines, Iowa. Her early life involved frequent schooling changes and a period of living in a Salvation Army basement with her single mother and siblings. Recognizing her athletic potential, she decided to stay in Des Moines to pursue track and field, living with various host families to continue her education and training at Theodore Roosevelt High School. She excelled academically and athletically, playing the cello in the orchestra and setting a state record in the 100-meter hurdles. Jones later attended Louisiana State University (LSU), where she became an 11-time All-American and a 6-time SEC champion, winning three NCAA titles in hurdles and relays.
Jones embarked on her professional track and field career after college, despite initial financial challenges that required her to work various part-time jobs. She quickly established herself as a top hurdler, winning national championships in the 60-meter and 100-meter hurdles. A significant milestone occurred in 2008 when she won her first World Championship title in the 60m hurdles in Valencia and entered the Beijing Olympics as a favorite. Though a stumble in the 2008 Olympic final led to a 7th-place finish, she bounced back to win the 2008 World Athletics Final. She continued to achieve success, defending her World Indoor 60m hurdles title in 2010 with a new American record of 7.72 seconds, and placing fourth at the 2012 London Olympics in the 100m hurdles.
In 2012, Jones transitioned to bobsledding, quickly earning a spot on the U.S. national team. She won a gold medal in the mixed team event at the 2013 FIBT World Championships in St. Moritz and represented the U.S. at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Her career saw further bobsledding success, including a gold medal in the two-woman bobsled at the 2021 World Championships. Throughout her career, Jones has openly shared her experiences, including her struggles with mental health and advocating for charitable causes, notably donating her Olympic Trials prize money to Iowa flood victims.
