SOCHI, Russia -- Lolo Jones is telling the story about how she became a bobsledder, her words becoming difficult to decipher as she tries to keep herself from crying.
So she wraps the tale up quickly, her eyes welling with tears as she shouts four words: "They had my back!"

Before the week ended, three teammates said Jones was given the final brakeman spot because of her fame. Katie Eberling and Emily Azevedo, veterans who didn't make the team, told USA TODAY Sports they weren't given the same opportunities to succeed as Jones.
lots of great pics, just clik the link!

It sucks that they have such a subjective selection process. Lolo would have been better served if they chose the team the same way they do in track and field, so that if she made the team, no one would have anything to bitch about.

U.S. Olympic committee has played this game for decades. Just recently the girl who finished out of the running in the figure skating competition was awarded a spot on the team over a girl who finished higher.
