“Footwork” Might Work In Lolo Jones Favor On Dancing With The Stars

The Indiana Gazette has a great piece up on Olympian Lolo Jones and why she decided to take a break from the hurdles and do Dancing With The Stars. She wants to have some fun. She also may be a little intimidated by some of her competitors, but, her strong suit might be her footwork and she plans to work hard…

Now, she’s clearing her calendar to cha-cha and foxtrot.

Jones put the brakes on her bobsled ambitions — just for a winter, though. Nothing long-term.

Only because there’s no telling how far she may advance in the dance competition and it may be well into November until she’s finished.

“They (bobsledding) are the ones that encouraged me to take the year off,” said Jones, 32, who’s from Des Moines, Iowa. “They knew about this opportunity, said it would be good for me to have fun.”

No pressure, but quite a few athletes have won the competition: Emmitt Smith, Apolo Anton Ohno, Helio Castroneves, Kristi Yamaguchi, Shawn Johnson, Hines Ward, Donald Driver and Meryl Davis.

That’s why she’s been taking some instructions. She’s also a little intimidated by some of the backgrounds of her fellow competitors. Thompson once trained in ballet and some of the others were tap dancers.

But Jones does have this working in her favor — her footwork from years of track. She was recently on a plane with actor and fellow competitor Ribeiro, who was rubbing his ankles and saying how bad they hurt after a dance session.

“I told him that when I come off a hurdle I jam my ankles pretty good. So this isn’t too bad,” Jones recalled. “He looked at me like I was crazy.”
