Lolo Jones
LoLo Jones, like so many of the other beautiful women on this list, rose to prominence during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In the NCAA LoLo Jones was a track athlete with special focus in both hurdles and the bobsled. She was the hands up favorite in the ’08 Beijing Olympics in the 100 meter hurdles but tripped on the final hurdle, finishing in last. Her career as an athlete took a backseat as she rocketed into the public zeitgeist. The beautiful brunette is the most popular track athlete on Twitter and has now become a popular model, posing for ESPN among other publications. Jones has also made it into the film and TV industry by starring in the Left Behind movie series as well as Dancing with the Stars. Not bad for a 7th place finisher during the Olympics, right?
