NBC invited Jones to Brazil to contribute to their regular Olympic coverage. They chose her because of the hilarious Twitter commentaries and reaction videos she has been posting since the Games began.
Take this video for example LOL

(as a former swimmer myself, all I can say to answer this one is that this suit helps her speed, because of science.)
