I often find it interesting how we so often criticize how a world class athlete, performing at a level most of us can't relate to, reacts in certain situations. The incredible preparation, time, energy, and personal sacrifices they make are staggering. They work for years and they often see their amazing efforts simply almost instantaneously change into bitter disappointment. They react emotionally and it is fully understandable as to why. They are humans first and athletes second.
LoLo Jones is an emotional individual. She showed some. So what? She was bitterly disappointed. Very shortly after the race she was interviewed and she handled it with class. In addition, she congratulated the winners after the race. What do you expect? A robot??
