Olympian Lolo Jones is a true role model for young girls, but has been severely ridiculed for her stance. Mary Carillo, in fact, disappoints in the video because she can't seem to grasp why Jones feels the way she does about saving herself for marriage. That's unfortunate, because there are a lot more people who scoff at what Jones is doing than applaud her for it, and Carillo's laughing during the interview feeds into the belief of the scoffers.
This is from a post at the Washingtonpost.com:
A devout Christian, Jones has previously discussed the central role religion plays in her life from reading the Bible before a race to listening to Christian music. That faith has helped her persevere through a trying childhood in Des Moines, Iowa. Jones’ family was so poor that she had to shoplift frozen dinners.
