Being the first contestant eliminated from DWTS is no title anyone performing on the show wants. But when you're an American track, field and bobsled Olympian, this defeat may sting a bit more.

Lolo Jones and her partner, newcomer Keo Motsepe, were the first couple to be eliminated on Tuesday's premiere episode of season 19 of Dancing With the Stars.

Though the Olympian held in her frustration and emotions during the elimination process, her facebook post after the results show were undeniably different.

"When I was dancing last night and messed up I had flashback of the three Olympics that people constantly tease me about," she said "I thought, 'Oh no, here it comes again. People are going to ridicule me. I'm so tired of feeling embarrassed."

Like she stated, she's an Olympian who has been unsuccessful in her competitions. She competed in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics for track events and as a bobsledder in the 2014 Winter Games, however, did not medal in any. For Olympians that can be a huge hit to ones ego.

Jones said after the DWTS elimination she, "felt like vomiting" she also said she felt, "So unlovable, Embarrassed."

She achingly wanted the confirmation to fans that she could perform well on DWTS: "My brief time on DWTS was a lasting lesson. I really wanted to stay on the show and have the layers of hurt wash away by showing the public how hard I work. I wanted to come away a victor for once. I wanted to do so good performing in public that the haters would stop teasing me."

At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Jones was favored to win the 100 meter hurdles, however it did not pan out the way they planned. She ended up hitting the 9th hurdle which ultimately brought her to a 7th place finish. After the race Jones was seen mouthing, "why, why, why?"
