Wayne's Fenlator 'Proud' of Partner Lolo Jones after 11th Place Olympic Finish

After two days of heats, Wayne native Jazmine Fenlator and her partner Lolo Jones placed 11th in the women’s two-men bobsled race at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

According to NBColympics.com, the USA-3 team ended up finishing in the same position they left off in after the first day of heats Tuesday.

Team USA did take home some bobsledding medals, though. USA-1 team Elana Meyers and Lauryn Williams took home the silver medal, NBC reported, losing gold by 0.10 seconds to Canadians Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse.

The USA-2 team - Jamie Greubel and Aja Evans – scored the bronze medal.

After the race, Fenlator tweeted congratulations to her US teammates, saying she was, “Freakin pumped 4 my teammates & the flags raised. Congrats on ur medal performance.”

Fenlator also tweeted some kind words about her bobsled partner. Jones, a track & field summer Olympian, has garnered a lot of attention for her jump to a Winter Olympic sport this year. 

According to reports, Jones has been criticized during the games, with some saying favoritism garnered her a spot on the team. Fenlator squashed that perception with her tweet.

“Couldnt have been more honored & proud 2 race w @lolojones in #Sochi2014 earning her spot outright; an incredible athlete, team & friend!” Fenlator tweeted.

Jones told NBColympics.com she was satisfied with her run, and proud of Fenlator and all of her US teammates.
