Lolo Jones Doesnt Know Who Eric LeGrand Is... And Finds Out Too Late...

Hurdler Lolo Jones trash-talked about head injuries to Eric LeGrand after he "challenged" her to a race on Twitter.

When she responded, it was obvious that she had no idea who LeGrand was...

After LeGrand tweeted to Jones "want to race me?", she came back with: "Get Checked for a concussion. Clearly, u've been hit in the head... Cos u arnt beating a track athlete."

When people broke the news to her about LeGrand and his story, Jones knew she was in trouble: "Great I'm gonna get murdered for that tweet. When I had no clue who that dude was.Just responding to any athlete who challenges me to a race."

Yeah, that was about right...

LeGrand later tweeted: "didnt take it personal,understand where ur coming from.All good."

His most recent tweet about the whole thing came this afternoon...

This stuff between @lolojones is ridiculous, she is a great person who misunderstood what I tweeted. People stop bashing her it's not right

And this is what we knew Lolo for before the Twitter War that she lost big...
