The USA Track and Field Team is officially set for the London 2012 Olympic Games now that Jeneba Tarmoh has withdrawn from the scheduled race-off against Allyson Felix. Not only are ladies like Lolo Jones, Jennifer Suhr, and Rachel Yurkovich putting the world on notice that the US is the team to beat, they're here to let you know that they're going to look d*amned good standing on the winner's podium.
Everyone knows who Lolo Jones is but I think that the real winners here are Rachel Yurkovich and Kara Patterson from the javelin. I would never in a million years have guessed that a pair of throwers would be the dark horses for "Most Beautiful."
Kara Patterson (Javelin)
You'll have to work hard to catch up with Kara, as she hods the American record in the javelin throw at a jarring 66.67 meters. That's a big difference over her 53.93 meter distance at the 2008 Summer Olympics. She's had a hard time getting past some qualifying rounds in the past, but Kara looks like she's ready to become a champion in 2012.
Lolo Jones (1oo Meter Hurdles)
She shocked some fans with a rough showing at the 2008 Olympics, but Lolo is already a favorite to come back strong in 2012. She's lately been getting more attention for her proud claim of being a virgin, but that's okay. It's not
