Three-time Olympian Lolo Jones is a rockstar who appears to be handling the postponement of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics relatively well, all things considered.
When USA TODAY Sports broke the news that the International Olympic Committee was planning to postpone the Games — one day before it officially did — because of the global COVID-19 outbreak, the American hurdler and bobsledder made a joke about ordering a pizza and delaying her retirement from the track for another year. And while quarantining, she’s been posting funny videos to social media about how she’s killing time and working out — like bench pressing her couch.
So not only did her boredom lead her to try the handstand t-shirt challenge, but she also one-upped the people who made the challenge go viral: Tom Holland and Jake Gyllenhaal. The Spider-Man actor shared a video of him doing a handstand while putting on a shirt and challenged Gyllenhaal, among others, to do it. And he did.
But like an elite athlete, Jones took it a step further. She put on two t-shirts while upside down on her hands *and* did it while having a glass of wine.
when I saw Spider-Man and Jake Gyllenhaal do a handstand challenge with one shirt…
first I want to thank them for having their shirt off because I haven’t seen a man in 25 days and also

Brava, Lolo.
Here are Holland’s and Gyllenhaal’s versions:
Good to see Tom Holland's Spider-Man training is (somewhat) paying off 🙃
