Jones is not racing Saturday when the women's World Cup bobsled circuit hits the track in St. Moritz, Switzerland, and neither is Lauryn Williams — an Olympic sprinter who Jones recruited to the sliding world last year. Both will likely race the following weekend, the last competition before the U. There's five women with strong shots of filling those roles, and for the most part, there isn't much separating one through five.

Coaches will make the selection based on a number of factors. But unlike track and field, there's no Olympic trial, no real hard-and-fast criteria for being picked to this team. In college, Jones ran the meter dash in 7. Robinson ran the same race in 6. It should be mentioned that Jones is a hurdles specialist and Robinson is a sprinter. So while Robinson would likely smoke Jones in the or meter dash, Jones might have a chance if they were doing hurdles. I've had spinal surgery, shoulder surgery and now hip surgery, and this hip surgery by far was the worst.

It was really tough because it was the first time it shut me down for a whole year. It was the first time I wasn't able to travel to Europe and race, the first time I wasn't able to go to U. It was a really hard one, and there were moments where I was like, "Man, is this injury going to be the death sentence for my career? Is this how it ends? But if anybody needed a break from the Olympics at that time, it was me. I was one of the only athletes besides Lauryn Williams that had been to three Games in a row, summer and winter, no breaks.

It was good to kind of step back. It was tough physically, but honestly it was tougher mentally. It forced me to literally sit and kind of think about what my next step was.

It just felt like I had no options. I couldn't run, I couldn't compete, I couldn't move on to the next thing. It was the first time in my life I had to sit still.

As a runner, you know how hard that is? I eventually watched the Olympics. At first, I wasn't going to. I was only going to watch certain things.

Then, I wound up watching everything, all the way down to, like, the horses dancing. It went from zero to really quick. People connect with you through your weaknesses. When I've had something that's a failure, I've always expressed it, and I think a lot of people gravitate towards that. I was vulnerable watching the Olympics, just like I was vulnerable years ago watching it, but I went on Twitter, made jokes about it, just was honest about it.

I think they connect more with me for that than when I only show the victories or I only show the moments when I'm on top.
