"I feel like being able to represent my country, as well as being an athlete for my country, it definitely brings a different meaning and a different caliber. I feel like there's so few people who do both at the same time, and I'm honored to have this opportunity to represent both. I'm thankful for being an airman and representing my country in that aspect," Jones told Fox News Digital.

"It definitely ties it together and brings different meaning and how much more I have to give."

Jones barely missed out on qualifying for the 2022 Beijing Winter Games. So, she joined the Air Force in April 2023, which allowed her to undergo a much more rigorous training routine, which she credits for her ability to qualify for this year's games. 

"I'm just thankful to be an airman," she said. "Going into the WCAP program, that allowed me to truly have my offseason training, allowed me to get to this point. … Having that offseason training to be able to focus truly and put in the work. That transpired with this moment." 

Jones gave birth to her daughter in 2021 and
