Lolo Jones pushed a bobsled in competition for the first time since the Sochi Olympics on Friday and has not ruled out returning to the winter sport after the Rio 2016 Summer Games.
In June, Jones said she was “very valuable” to U.S. Bobsled because of a rule change reducing the maximum combined weight for a two-woman bobsled and crews by 66 pounds, a change that will phase in over the next two seasons, according to U.S. Bobsled.
Jones’ track and field weight is about 30 pounds lighter than her bobsled weight, so she would not have to gain as much weight this time switching back to bobsled after trying to make her third Summer Olympic team next year.
