What a sport!

Athlete Lolo Jones graciously made her exit from the "Dancing With The Stars" stage as the first celebrity contestant to be voted off the show.

Jones, who is a world-class bobsled and track and field athlete, stumbled during her cha-cha performance with dance partner Keo Motspe during the season premiere last Monday. She learned of her fate on the show on Tuesday night.

She was at the bottom two with eccentric fashion designer Betsey Johnson, who fumbled with a prop used during her dance routine.

Jones said Johnson's prop proved to be a disadvantage and that was the main reason for her struggle.

"Honestly, that was just steps on my part, so I'm glad she's staying. She deserves to stay. Everybody here did a good job," Jones said.

Jones, who is an advocate for celibacy before marriage, shared before the performance that she was scared that her struggle to be "sexy" would be obvious.

After receiving a 22 out of 40 for her Monday night performance, she told her dance partner that "this is not where I want to be at" and that her performance was "awful".

Johnson was described by judge Bruno Tonioli as a 'go kart trying to keep up with a Ferrari' following his cha-cha.

The partner of the 72-year old fashion designer, Toni Dovolani, was heard through micrphones saying "stop, stop, stop" when she got tangled in her boa feather prop before she did a cartwheel and split to end the dance routine.

Dovolani was also heard backstage blaming a stagehand for the prop slip-up.

Other celebrities that are part of this season's "Dancing With The Stars" are "Fresh Prince Of Bel Air" actor Alfonso Ribeiro, "Duck Dynasty" star Sadie Robertson, Randy Couture, Bethany Mota and Jonathan Bennett.

"Duck Dynasty" royal pair Willie and Korie Roberson were present in the audience to cheer on their daughter, Sadie.

"Sadie did me proud. I always wondered if she saw me dancing around the house. I really think she did. I swear they were some of my moves," Willie said.
