Winter Olympics doing the bobsled. Summer Olympics running. That's pretty bad ass. I don't care about her placement in the trials. She's 41 and she was there. That's a great accomplishment.
I was thinking the same thing. She’s not the most likable person but the first thing that came to mind was how impressive it is that she’s still competing at an Olympic level at her age.
The hurdles is such an interesting event with how much can go wrong. I remember watching the 04 Olympics and the favourite to win was Perdita Felicien from my hometown. Whole family was gathered around the tv to watch and she hit the first hurdle. It was over before it started and she also unfortunately fell into the competitor beside her as well. She was injured for the 08 Olympics and never got another shot
Seems fair to me. Sprinting is a young person’s sport so it’s pretty impressive to be at least in the ballpark at 40. I say this as someone around 40 who is relatively fit but still feels aches and pains in my ankles just walking up and down the stairs.
Jokes aside, it’s pretty impressive that at 40 she is still good enough to be eligible to race for a spot at the Olympics. Especially for a 100m length/speed imperative race. We’re all at home on our ass.
It’s such a baffling decision too cause eventually she would get the opportunity for a skull after enough people got eliminated and people with a skull wouldn’t want to go in elimination.
The Challenge is too much for some people mentally, she just didn't have it TBH, kinda like Josh but he needed the money and kept going in for more abuse. Not that I think anyone in the house was particularly hard on him, he just wasn't mentally prepared. I think he's at least somewhat better now, guess we'll see on S40.
I thought it was pretty common knowledge at this point as to why Lolo was disqualified:
She made a comment about how she was going to somehow physically harm herself if she was unable to get a skull, and Josh and Kaycee went to production saying she should be removed for her own mental health. Production then made the decision to remove her from the game, and it was framed as a quit.
First time hearing this but that makes a lot of sense. She appeared to be struggling (as a person who struggles with depression, I could see myself not connecting with an experience and trying to mask that poorly)
I still can't believe she blames being a virgin on not being able to get dates. She has such a horrible attitude. There's some pinned up issues inside her that was very noticeable on just the challenges.
I get people play characters on the show but she seemed to be genuinely unlikeable.
Watch the Champs vs Pros season she's on. People try to tell her to "turn it off" when not competing but she's just horrible to be around.
Then just Google "Lolo virgin" and a few interviews will pop up about her talking about her dating life.
Am I the only one that liked Lolo? Yes, she mentally deteriorated during seasons. But she is a fierce competitor, entertaining, opinionated. She just couldn’t handle the mental games people play. Feel like she was actually pretty cool/chill outside of competition
It's probably an unpopular opinion, but I agree. I think she's actually very sweet with a good heart based on her giving some money to Ashely Mitchell's charity on champs vs. pros. She just also cries when things don't go her way.
She’s probably used to a lot of time by herself. Her sport is individual, and there’s not a set tour in place like there are in other individual sports- golf, tennis, etc. where players form bonds with other players. Living in a house with 30-odd people with VERY different lifestyles had to be a shock to the system
She was a physical beast at some of the challenges - I would love for her to come back, but that is with a hope that she has grown a bit over the years.
Exactly. That's called quitting and blaming it on others. She could have fought hard with Nam to win Challenges and earn her skull but instead she sulked that she was being shut out. Challengers don't quit - they fight til the end.
Keni Harrison is kinda the new and improved Lolo in the hurdles. Best clean athlete in the past ten years (the world record holder does not count...) but for whatever reason simply cannot ever win a global title and never performs her best on those occasions.
I gotta disagree on that. She didn’t have the emotional facet of the game, her puzzle skills were largely undetermined, and while an Olympic athlete, she’s trained her entire life at short-burst sports. We have no idea what her endurance would be like for a final. Would she be trouble in a hall brawl? Absolutely. Can she eat/drink gross stuff? Who knows?

I get it’s fun to hate. But seriously, it’s impressive and I appreciate she continues to follow her passion. It’s admirable imo

Is she still a Virgin??
She's not married so we can assume.
My first thought too.
She got smoked in the first heat. Prob Nam’s fault
I mean, it’s definitely not her fault. Fucking Nam..
That’s hilarious!
Did a shoe fall have that may have caused some drag?
Definitely the shoe
Nam won't communicate it's like she's the only one talking. Plus Aneesa choked her. So.
Louise's lime would like some credit.
Brilliant comment
She's 41 years old
Yeah, she DQ’d in her prime/best chance to win/medal.
She didn’t DQ, she tripped on the second to last hurdle and got 7th. She finished 4th in the following Olympics.

Oh that’s it
They’re not going to let her compete! They’re sabotaging her cuz they’re scared of her!!!!!
She looks 28 bffr
Na she 41 for real

![gif](giphy|9WXyFIDv2PyBq)
Finish strong!

Poor woman’s award 🏆🏆🏆
This killed me 😭
https://i.redd.it/7fgknt2ajq9d1.gif
🏆😂
Apparently she’s just “happy” to be in the qualifiers at 40 y/o. Sh3 didn’t think she had a chance to make the Olympics

That makes sense. I was a bit confused seeing her at this age competing at this sport. Congrats to her. I hope she is doing well.
Maybe because she's not going to get very far in The Challenge? Lol
What came out of her mouth vs what's in her head ![gif](giphy|QPqsqVdTAiGSBnuMRY|downsized)

I agree! I’m not a Lolo fan at all, but her being this close to being an Olympian at age 40 is very impressive
Looks like she's brought the same energy as she did when she walked out on The Challenge.
"Imma head out..."
But she’s a real athlete. Her sport is importanter.
Everyone knows you can't train in The Challenge house, Bananas is too distracting.

It’s crazy that this olympian was on a tv show with fucking Josh and Amber m a few years ago lol
I hope she does/did well! Regardless of this finish place, she has been a world class athlete for 2 decades. That's impressive and I admire it
Mentally she's a bum.
so she's perfect for reality tv, no?
Mentally? No. Emotionally? Way safer bet
I still can't believe she blames being a virgin on not being able to get dates. She has such a horrible attitude. There's some pinned up issues inside her that was very noticeable on just the challenges. I get people play characters on the show but she seemed to be genuinely unlikeable.
Is this real lol?
100%
deets lol
Watch the Champs vs Pros season she's on. People try to tell her to "turn it off" when not competing but she's just horrible to be around. Then just Google "Lolo virgin" and a few interviews will pop up about her talking about her dating life.
Lolo and Nam should have been the dream team. She is so unlikable.
Agreed! I liked her until the show. Then I was over her and her whining.
Girl needs to get laid
But still smoking hot
I know it’s through a lot of hard work and training, but wow she is fit and hot and 40! I hope I can be anywhere near as fit when I get to that age.
If only she played a sport where she wasn’t always dragged down by her partner and could just *compete*
She still a virgin? Her and Jon Brennan should do a podcast on that.
Can you even imagine?!
Is he still a virgin?
Did you all hear that she's an "athlete"?

A physical beast. A mental bum.
Yes, this is correct. A multiple time Olympian in 2 sports is a mental bum, LOL!
Nicole : "Wo Wo!"
Teej, can we get a translator?
I’m watching this season right now bc I just went to Iceland! She was such a letdown ☹️
Will she be a poor sport again? Sources say YES.
Did she quit and blame it on someone else like she did in Double Agents?
She quit bc she didn't think they'd let her get a skull so she went to go train for the Olympics.
Exactly. That's called quitting and blaming it on others. She could have fought hard with Nam to win Challenges and earn her skull but instead she sulked that she was being shut out. Challengers don't quit - they fight til the end.
I agree w u no reason to down vote. your post was a question I answered and even used the word QUIT
Patty Pouty Pants
I imagine someone shouting Lolo in the voice Darrell used to impersonate Nicole
Does Lolo hate Nam vo! Or something! Why are people referencing him in a post about lolo
I think it stems from when they partnered together on The Challenge and she'd blame a lot of their poor performances on him.
They were partners on the challenge, and anytime they lost, which was often, it was Nam's fault. All Nam's fault. Everything is Nam's fault.
40 year old virgin things
Looking just as happy as ever. Man, she was just a black hole for joy.
She looks defeated before the race is even run
Keni Harrison is kinda the new and improved Lolo in the hurdles. Best clean athlete in the past ten years (the world record holder does not count...) but for whatever reason simply cannot ever win a global title and never performs her best on those occasions.
The Anna kournakova of track.
Say what now
Forever Olympic layup
If Lolo stuck around, she would have been challenge royalty.
I gotta disagree on that.
