Popular and polarizing 100-meter hurdler Lolo Jones has withdrawn from the Olympic track and field trials, saying she didn't have enough time to heal from hip surgery in November.

The 33-year-old Jones posted a heartfelt video Wednesday on Instagram in which she said she wasn't retiring and simply giving her hip more time to heal.

She's one of the most marketable and high-profile athletes in track. But she's drawn her fair share of detractors for cashing in off the track without winning a major outdoor championship on it.
