Lolo Jones took the third place in the 100 m hurdles on Friday at the IAAF World Challenge Ostrava Golden Spike meeting in the Czech Republic.
Jones' first competition, since the sprinter openly talked about her sex-life, or better yet, lack thereof in a televised documentary and interview courtesy of HBO and ESPN, ahead of the 2012 Olympics failed to impress. Nonetheless, Jones was satisfied with her placing.
"Happy with my first race in Top Three. I shouldn't have helped Super Woman catch villains late last night... perhaps, I would've ran better," she posted on Twitter.
Jones crossed the finish line with 12.95 seconds and she will be running 6 more races in the next two weeks.
Her next athletics meet will be held in Hengelo, Netherlands on May 27, 2012 and will have one more track meet in May on the 31st in Rome, Italy.
Jones recently posted a comment about Tim Tebow, another athlete who vowed to remain virgin until marriage.
"Ask Tebow if he wants a glass of milk. If he says yes, ask him if he prefers chocolate. if he says no, then no more Tebow date suggestions," the 29-year-old female athlete tweeted.
According to Kevin Armstrong of the Daily News, some of Tebow's teammates started teasing him with Lolo in the locker room.
"For the track/Lolo Jones junkies: When Tebow entered locker room today, several Jets players started chanting, "Lolo! Lolo!" Armstrong tweeted.
ESPN and HBO aired shows this week about Jones personal life where she talked about virginity and shared details about how hard it was for her to abstain from sexual relationships.
In some occasions, guys would tell Jones that having sex would make her run faster, reportedly.
Lolo is a U.S. Olympian who participated in the Beijing 2008 Olympics and will be competing in Oregon in late June in order to qualify for London's Olympics this summer.
