My Take
What I love about Lolo Jones is her stubborn refusal to quit. Out of Des Moines, she racked up three NCAA titles and eleven All-American honors at LSU, then, not content to master the summer track, threw herself into winter bobsled. Excelling in one sport is hard enough; crossing into a discipline with entirely different demands takes real nerve. She chased Olympic glory again and again, often falling agonizingly short, and to me that persistence is more stirring than any medal. People who keep daring, regardless of the result, are beautiful in their own right.
