Lolo Jones Has Bright Future As Twitter Comic


Here’s what we know about Lolo Jones. She’s an Olympic hurdler. She’s a 29-year-old virgin. She’s single. And she’s pretty funny.

Lolo Jones gained thousands of Twitter followers (Yahoo reports that she gained 20,000 followers this week for a total of 88,000 foll0wers) after she told HBO’s Real Sports that staying a virgin has been harder than training for the Olympics. But the “controversy” over her virginity isn’t the only reason to follow Jones. She’s also pretty funny.

Whether she’s giving updates about her Olympic journey (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) or talking about life as a single woman (the good thing about being single is you don’t have to charge your phone but every three of four days) Jones Twitter feed is a constant string of funny anecdotes.
