While her competition hopes to ice Lolo Jones' chances for the gold in Beijing, the world-class hurdler will be a cool attraction at the Iowa State Fair.
A sculptor plans to carve an image of Jones in ice during an ice carving demonstration at the fair, which begins on Thursday.
Ice carving demonstrations will be held daily and Jones is scheduled to be carved into ice on Aug. 17, the same day she is scheduled to compete in the first round of the 100-meter hurdles at the Olympics.
Jones isn't the only Iowa Olympian to have her likeness put on display at the fair. Gymnast Shawn Johnson will be carved in butter alongside the butter cow.
