Getty Lolo Jones competes at the 2024 Olympic Trials, where she did not qualify to the games but inspired fans by showing her athletic longevity and commitment to sport. Still, Jones is looking on the bright side and finding strength in the outpouring of public support she’s received after opening up about the ordeal. It was during this pursuit that she suffered a severe spine injury. Then in June of 2025, Jones opened up about being banned from the Olympic Training Center. She made the unique move of pivoting to a winter sport, becoming the ninth American to ever compete in both the Summer and Winter Games.
