It happens all the Time and Lo Lo won't be the First or the last. How many of the World's Finest Athletes come back to Compete for their Quest to get on the Medal Stand and possibly for the Gold come up Short?

Well for #GeauxTigers All-American and Track Town USA Hopeful in the 100 Meter Hurdle Lo Lo Jones it has been her quest ever since the 2008 Beijing Summer Games where the 2nd to Last Hurdle crashed her Gold Medal Dreams.

Now back for and Encore with the Australia's Sally Pearson the 100 Meter Favorite Lo Lo knew she had her work cut out and cut out indeed as not only did Pearson win the 100 Meters Hurdles but both of Lo Lo's Team USA Track mates...Dawn Harper and Kellie Wells placed 2nd and 3rd respectively. Its was the Aussies 4th Gold Medal as they have done absolutely nothing in Water where they are usually the Strongest.

Lo Lo Jones finishes her Olympic Career sending a Vibrant Message to all those who will travel down that Olympic Path..."Don't give up on your Dreams and shoot for the Moon and if you miss you still will be among the Stars".
