It's not easy being beautiful-or a beautiful Olympian.

Track and field athlete Lolo Jones has gotten plenty of press-but not so much for her athletic prowess. Instead, Jones is now known for her knockout looks, racy photo spreads and love of fellow virgin, New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow.

The New York Times called her out, declaring that Jones "decided she will be whatever anyone wants her to be - vixen, virgin, victim - to draw attention to herself and the many products she endorses."

The Times also challenged Jones to prove them wrong, stating, "If Jones can remain composed and improve her technique and speed, she can also write a great and improbable story of Olympic redemption."

Jones didn't do that, placing 4th in the 100-meter hurdles final in London on August 7, finishing behind teammates Dawn Harper and Kellie Wells, who earned silver and bronze medals for the United States.
