The experience was so unbearable for Lolo, that she felt sick during the show.
Olympian Lolo Jones wasn’t thrilled at being the first contestant eliminated from the current season of Dancing With The Stars.
The track star took to Facebook to explain her feelings:
“When I was dancing last night and messed up I had flashbacks of the three Olympics and that people constantly tease me about. I thought oh no here it comes again. People are going to ridicule me. I’m so tired of feeling embarrassed.”
Jones also appeared on Good Morning America to describe her frustration.
“I always try — whenever I go do something — to learn something, to take away something. Three Olympics, you’ve got to take away something if you’re not taking away a medal. So when I had that [dancing] experience, I was crushed and heartbroken, and I think a lot of people didn’t understand my frustration,” Jones said.
The experience was so unbearable for Lolo that she felt sick during the show.
“I joined the other competitors upstairs and I couldn’t force a smile on my face,” she wrote on Facebook. “I felt like vomiting and in between the other dances I went in a back room and fought back tears.”
In the end, Lolo called her time on DWTS a “lasting lesson.”
According to the Daily Mail, Lolo has competed in three Olympics (Beijing, London and Sochi as a U.S. bobsledder), but has never won a medal.
