The left hand photo above shows a distraught Lolo Jones shortly after
the final of the womens 100m Hurdles at the 2008 Olympic Games in
Beijing. Jones was seemingly cruising towards the gold medal when she
hit the penultimate hurdle and stumbled, leading to her dropping back to
7th place in a time of 12.72 secs. Lolo's fellow American Dawn Harper -
4 from left in the action pictures - took full advantage to surge
through and take gold in a time of 12.54 secs. The main photo above
shows Jones in full flow during the heats.
