Despite coming back from multiple injuries and unfair criticism from the media, Jones did run her best race of the year and came within one-hundredth of a second from medaling.
Jones was even criticized by her own teammates Dawn Harper and Kellie Harper who took the silver and bronze respectively.
Dawn Harper: ” … because their favorite didn’t win, we’re kind of going to push your story aside … it hurt my feelings … you kinda gotta respect it a little bit now.”
As if nobody respected Harper before? Whatever.
Kellie Wells: “On the podium tonight, the three girls that got their medal prevailed, and that’s all that really needed to be said.”
Even if she did earn a medal the unfair criticism more than likely still would’ve gone her way. It’s still sad though the way some critics get hung up on the mundane.
