It looks like Lolo Jones’ bid for an Olympic medal won’t be derailed by a bug.
The U.S. hurdler turned bobsledder was quarantined in Sochi after experiencing flu-like symptoms since arriving at the Winter Games.
Nick Zaccardi of NBC Sports though reported that the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation referred to the illness as ‘nothing major’ but would make sure that no other athletes were exposed to whatever it is Jones had.
The good news though for Jones came Sunday night as she was released from the “quarantine room” in the Olympic Village and seemingly ready to compete with her team.

Jones has time to recover further too as the women’s portion of the bobsleigh doesn’t start until February 18th.
