Lolo Jones did make it onto the women's team as one of the three push athletes along with fellow Olympic sprinter Lauryn Williams and Aja Evans.
The US bobsled team drivers will be Jamie Greubel, Elana Meyers and sister Jazmine Fenlator.
Jones will be in search of the Olympic medal that keeps eluding her. She was on her way to victory in the 100m hurdles at the 2008 Beijing when she clipped the last one and fell. In London she finished fourth and after being asked to try out for bobsled team made it and medaled in her first World Cup race.
The four African-American bobsled women in Jones, Evans, Williams and Fenlator will be trying to join Vonetta Flowers as African-American winter Olympic bobsled medalists.
If she does so, Fenlator would be the first to do so as a bobsled driver.
So I'll definitely be tuned in when the women's bobsled competition starts February 18-19 to see how the Team USA women do in Sochi.
