The Olympian, who documented her journey to conception on social media, recently got candid interview about her decision to freeze her eggs after finding a partner to start a family. “Being a good mother is very difficult, especially in today’s society,” Jones said Good morning, America. “Do I have the abilities and skills to care for someone? “I would love to get a chance.”

The egg retrieval process is no small celebration, as Jones is well aware. “I crashed the bobsled at 90 mph,” she said. “I’ve had hamstring injuries, back surgery, and nothing was more terrifying than even starting to look into the egg freezing process.”
